NextImg:Patriots CB Jack Jones, facing airport gun charges, has a rescheduled court date after Week 1

Anyone excited for more details in the airport firearms case of Patriots cornerback Jack Jones will have to wait a little longer.

A hearing scheduled for Friday in municipal court in East Boston was rescheduled Tuesday for Sept. 15, a few days after the Pats’ season opener.

Massachusetts State Police troopers arrested Jones, 25, at Boston Logan International Airport on June 16 after they say TSA agents found two pistols in the New England Patriot player’s carry-on bag as he was going through a security checkpoint.

The alleged guns were both loaded Glock 9mm pistols, a Glock 43X and Glock 19, according to prosecutors.

Seized alongside them were three loaded magazines: a 30-round, a 15-round and 10-round, as well as a total of 54 rounds of 9mm ammunition. The guns were allegedly inside an unlocked black Glock handgun box that was itself inside a black duffel bag labeled with the words “UFC” and “Jones, Jack.”

Jones was charged with two counts each of possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of an airport, possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm and possession of a large-capacity feeding device. He pleaded not guilty to the charges at his arraignment in East Boston on June 20 and posted $30,000 cash bail.

Following Jones’ arraignment, his attorney Rosemary Scapicchio said the case was simply an example of “institutional racism we deal with every day in the court system.”

She said the evidence only shows that “the guns were in a bag with his name on it. Exactly. That doesn’t make him a thug. … It makes him an individual charged with a crime.”

“All Mr. Jones wants to do is play football. He doesn’t wanna be a distraction at all. He wants to support his family and play football,” she said. “That’s his goal here.”

If convicted of all the charges, the Patriots’ fourth-round pick last year could see up to 30 years in prison.
