University student and football receiver Derrick Jones was arrested Jan. 25 on a contempt of court charge and was also cited on a charge of frequenting a drug house.
Eugene Police “had information that there was possibly marijuana” at Jones’ Stadium Park Apartments home and alerted an officer who patrolled the University area, said EPD spokeswoman Melinda Kletzok. When officers arrived at the apartment at about 11:00 p.m., they arrested Jones on charges of failure to appear at a court hearing and cited him for frequenting a drug house.
Jones’ cousin, Kenyon Tremaine Brown, was also cited for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana.
Jones, 22, is a University sophomore and a wide receiver on the football team. He was also arrested for failing to appear in court in October, after being cited for driving with a suspended license.
