‘ When he again came into contact with police on April 6 after rolling into a ditch off the shoulder of Interstate 96, the interaction proved to be far more chaotic.
Jones allegedly threatened the Michigan state troopers by telling them he oversaw their agency’s finances. When officers asked for an ID, he tried to show a badge and then shook his arms “as if he were about to do something,” the reports said.
“It’s not going to be good for you, I run y’all budget, bro,” he told them, according to the News.
After an ambulance arrived to transport an unidentified passenger who had been riding alongside him, Jones tried to push the first responders and climb inside their vehicle, the Detroit News reported.
The troopers said in the report that they attempted twice to use a Taser on Jones and then aimed pepper spray at his eyes to get him in handcuffs. He was then transported to jail in Livingston County, Mich., where he spent the night.
Because Jones refused to take a breathalyzer test at the scene, police obtained a warrant to draw his blood before his release the following day. (The test showed a blood alcohol content of 0.19, the Free Press reported; a limit of 0.08 is needed to convict someone of drunken driving.) ‘
