Jones was apprehended by police on the Las Vegas strip just before 6 a.m. Friday. When he was taken into custody, the report states that Jones “became irate and smashed his head onto the front hood” of the police vehicle, causing a medium-sized dent and paint chipping. That led to the felony charge of injury and tampering to a vehicle.

In an interview at the Caesars Palace resort, the woman involved in the incident told police that Jones was a "little" physical with her, touching the back of her head and pulling her hair a bit. She said Jones did not hit her. However, police observed blood on the woman's clothing and a bump on her lip with dried-up blood. She explained that her lips were really dry. Police also observed blood on the bedsheets in the hotel room, the report stated.

The woman, whom ESPN is not identifying, told police that Jones was aggressive with her, but not violent, per the report. He grabbed the back of her hair to prevent her from leaving the hotel room. Police observed the woman with a swollen lower lip and a red mark on her upper right cheek. The woman did not allow photos to be taken, nor did she agree to a voluntary statement or recording of the interview.

A Caesars security guard told police she encountered the woman, who broke into tears when asked if she was OK, according to the arrest report. The woman said she was afraid to go back to the room. She was taken to the security office.

According to the report, prior to being read his Miranda rights, Jones said the Las Vegas Metro PD would be facing a lawsuit for putting him in handcuffs on the biggest night of his life. After his rights were read, Jones "immediately burst into tears," the report stated. The report described Jones as going through an "emotional roller coaster."
