Officers arrived and noticed a damaged, yellow Corvette and three people, including Jones, on the sidewalk. The two others were a couple who witnessed the accident and told officers that Jones rear-ended the Chevrolet at a red light, and then the Chevrolet fled shortly after. Officers asked Jones what happened and observed him to be visibly intoxicated. Jones consented to sobriety tests and performed poorly before being placed under arrest for driving under the influence.
