Tis Tough: Popeye Jones Gets King’d By Dallas Police

For those of you that thought Popeye Jones’ grissues couldn’t get any worse, think again. The dude notorious for being in many-a-groupie’s “Top 10 Guys I’d Mash Just Cause He Was In The League” list, Jones got his ass whooped Sunday night by a few police officers in Richardson, Texas a suburb of Big D. It’s official, it’s not a good idea to be a pro athlete or the parent of a pro athlete in Texas.

Police officers claim that the Mavericks assistant coach, who had just returned home following the team’s sweep of the Clippers and Lakers, was swerving his SUV erratically. When they pulled Jones over, it was obvious that he had gotten a little too loose off that goose. Jones refused a breathalyzer test and allegedly resisted arrest, and at 6′8 and probably pushing somewhere close to 3 bills, the cops neutralized the threat, leaving Sloth’s body double with a bloodied grill.

The police car did have a video monitoring system on the dashboard and the video of the incident should be released to the public at some point in the near future. The Mavericks had a game Tuesday night, a victory against the Utah Jazz, but owner Mark Cuban declined to comment on Jones’ situation. Until the video is released, we can only speculate as to what really cracked, but the bottom line is sometimes is just a better idea to call a cab, or just get it going at the crib.
