Officers responded to a criminal complaint just after 1 a.m. local time, when they heard gunshots fired. When they arrived at the scene, they found Jones in his vehicle with the engine on. Jones told the police officers that he didn’t know anything about the gunshots, according to the report.
Jones, who had signs of intoxication, admitted that he had been driving earlier, and had intentions of driving when they found him, the police officers said.
Police said that he agreed to take a sobriety test, and he did badly on it. He was also administered a Breathalyzer test, and it was at least over twice the legal limit.
