Rapper Jim Jones Arrested for Drug and Firearm Possession

Rapper Jim Jones was arrested on drug and firearm possession charges in Georgia after he and his friends led police on a car chase Wednesday night through Coweta County.

According to police, the Ruger was reported stolen in Dekalb County in March.

None of the people in the car admitted to possession, but Jones did say he was smoking marijuana. He told police he did not know anything about the weapons.
