RICHARDSON, Texas(AP) -- Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Popeye
Jones is free on bond after being arrested on a drunken-driving
charge in suburban Dallas over the weekend.
Richardson police say motorists reported a sport-utility vehicle
being driven erratically Sunday night. Officers found the SUV
stopped with Jones at the wheel.
Spokesman Jonathan Wakefield says Jones declined a breath test,
but officers believed he was drunk. There was a minor struggle
when police tried to arrest him and Jones was taken to the
ground, causing minor facial cuts.
Jones is charged with driving while intoxicated. Wakefield said
Monday he won't be charged with resisting arrest.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, in an e-mail to The Associated
Press, declined to say whether Jones faces any discipline.
