Following his arrest, Jones was issued a ticket for the suspended license.
After a few hours in the 1st Precinct stationhouse, cops issued the “We Fly High” rapper a desk appearance ticket and released him, police said. “I’m just an entertainer trying to make a living,” the rapper told the Daily News as he walked out. Jones said New York’s Finest were polite. “They showed me total respect,” he said. “Every officer in there is a gentleman.” (New York Daily News)

The rapper recently talked to SOHH about life after a near-death car crash last January.
“Um, that’s a funny thing, man,” Jones told SOHH when asked if his life perspective has changed since the near-fatal car crash. “When sh*t like that happens, immediately off top you re-evaluate a lot of things that’s going on and sh*t like that. And then for some reason, I found myself doing a 120 [miles per hour] on the highway the other day. It’s the fast life, let’s go.” (SOHH)
