SNIP from http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3223961
One step in that direction came with the dismissal of misdemeanor public intoxication and disorderly conduct charges stemming from an incident Aug. 25, 2006, outside a club in this Nashville suburb.
Jones had been upset over his missing wallet and was arrested after cursing at officers before leaving.
With Jones' no contest plea in Las Vegas on Dec. 6, he now has only one pending charge of felony obstruction left in Georgia from a February 2006 encounter with a police officer. A hearing in that case has been postponed until March.
The most authorities here could have punished Jones was a $50 fine for each charge, and District Attorney William Whitesell said Jones had been punished much more for his behavior through the league's suspension.
He missed out on $1.29 million in base salary.
********
Just 50 bucks but so what, he can afford it.
He's not a kid, why is suspended from playing a game an OK punishment?
I don't like this, thoughts?
