Jones’ arrest Monday actually stemmed from a positive result on a random test for alcohol taken on Feb. 27. Terms of Jones’ drug treatment program call for participants to abstain from drugs and alcohol, and individuals are tested randomly for the substances. Jones was suspended for the last three games of last season after violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. He was charged with cocaine possession in July after a police officer said he saw Jones cutting the drug in a car in Fayetteville. According to the league’s substance abuse policy, agreements such as Jones’ drug program plea fall into outcomes that can be reviewed for disciplinary action. “We’re aware of the situation and are still gathering information,” said Jaguars GM Gene Smith.
