Former Marquette men’s basketball guard Kam Jones has been arrested after a brief police chase on I-65 in Indianapolis Monday morning.
According to Indiana State Police, Jones, 23, drove past an Indiana State Trooper at a high speed when the officer attempted to pull him over for erratic driving. Police told the Marquette Wire Jones weaved in-and-out of traffic for approximately four miles before stopping.
He was arrested for reckless driving and resisting law enforcement, Indiana jail records show. As of approximately 1:50 p.m. CST Oct. 20, Jones was being held in the Marion County jail.
Marquette athletics declined to comment on the matter. The Wire did not immediately receive a response from the university.
Jones was drafted to the NBA by the Indiana Pacers in June. He is the No. 2 all-time leading scorer for the Golden Eagles, and was a second-team All-American last season.
