Former Jaguars wide receiver Jimmy Smith was arrested early this morning at a DUI checkpoint. He had an open beer and some pot so not only was he charged with the DUI but with open container and possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana. All three are misdemeanors. Jacksonville lawyer Hank Coxe, who represented Brian Williams in his acquitted DUI trial, is representing Smith.

“I’m dealing with a very difficult, very personal issue and I know this is not the solution,” Smith told the Times-Union during a phone interview Saturday. “Everybody has issues. My issues are just magnified.”

To make matters worse, Fred Taylor was charged with disorderly conduct. Honestly, I am very skeptial about Taylor’s case. Details haven’t surfaced yet but he wasn’t taken into jail. I am obviously bias but it just seems like the case of him being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This morning, 2005 first round bust pick Matt Jones was arrested in Arkansas for possession of cocaine. The official charge is possession of a controlled substance.

The NFL network has been doing the 32 teams in 32 days for the past month. They are focusing on the Jaguars on Friday. It should be interesting.

Update 11:02am

Police found a corner of a plastic baggie with white powder on the floorboard where Jones was sitting, as well as the white card with powder on the seat. Police found a rolled up paper with another bag of white power on another seat. They also found a black bag with a jar containing suspected maijuana, the report said.

The report said that Jones told one of the officers that the white powder was cocaine. Six grams of the substance later tested positive for cocaine, while other tests were ordered.

The two men with Jones were charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
