Illinois Lineman Chris Jones Arrested for Aggravated Battery

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Matthew Stockwell

Adding to the laundry list of recent misbehaving college athletes, Illinois lineman Chris Jones was arrested on Sunday after allegedly assaulting two men because of their sexual orientations. Jones, 6 foot 5 and 310 lbs., shouted homophobic slurs at the two much smaller men from a car, and then punched them outside of a bar. Although the injuries were minor, Jones will be charged with aggravated battery.  

In June of 2010, Jones pled guilty to felony possession of cocaine. He is now suspended pending the University's review of the alleged incident.
