According to witnesses who called 911, State Representative Jewell Jones was speeding down I-95 in his black Chevy Tahoe before he ran off the road in a ditch. A woman traveling with Jones was transported via ambulance to the hospital. However, Jones became combative with police officers who arrived at the scene. Mr. Jones had a blood alcohol level of .19, twice the legal limit.
Mr. Jones refused to present his drivers license and then began physically struggling with officers who were attempting to handcuff him.
The state representative then claimed Governor Gretchen Whitmer would get involved and began threatening the police.
[…] Jones said, “when I call Gretchen,” he’d need badge numbers for all the state troopers and Fowlerville police officers on the scene, according to the state police report. (NBC Report)
Prosecutors say Jones has been charged with resisting arrest, operating a motor vehicle with high blood alcohol content (.19), operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, possession of a weapon under the influence of alcohol and reckless driving.
(WARNING – IT GETS GRAPHIC): Jones was "holding the woman up" near the passenger side door, according to a police report obtained by MIRSnews. The woman's pants "were down" as she vomited and Jewell's pants "were partially down" when a paramedic arrived at the crash site.

Meanwhile, the woman was "unable to stand on her own and was essentially unresponsive" as paramedics tried to administer care, the police report noted.

When a state police trooper asked for Jones' identification, Jones refused, at one point prompting the trooper to tell Jones, "don't be dumb." During their exchange, Jones responds "I can't do that" when asked again for his driver's license and ID.

Jones continued to resist and was brought to the ground by state troopers, who told him to "stop resisting."

“Person of importance”….
In a few words this might just be the best description of the prosecutorial discretion we have witnessed over the Obama years and now.
I must admit, sometimes these video cams come in handy, no?
We used to be worried the cops would get in trouble.
Now it’s the perp who resists arrest who gets in trouble.
And he’s a rep for constituents? Literally caught with his pants down. Explain that!
Democrat.
I hope his ho lawyers up and cries rape. There’s money to be extorted.
So the duly elected POC POS was getting ready to do a roadside boink on the woman AFTER she was injured by his arsehole driving? Citizens of Michigan, I hope you’re impressed. Your stupid choices at the ballot box have consequences.
“I’m in charge of your budget” There’s your first problem. Guy shouldn’t be in charge of the cash box on a hot dog cart.
Typical Dem. Only for me, not for thee!
Hopefully this one won’t be swept under the carpet. It would be terrible if a drunk elected official got off without consequence.
