The TV station said the alleged victim saw
Jones drive past her several times and she asked him if he was
OK. His reply was, "No, can you give me 10 seconds?"
As she approached his car, she saw him masturbating and reported
the incident to university police, according to the report.
She said she recognized him from social media, and the
surveillance video from the time of the alleged incident showed
a vehicle license plate that matched that of Jones.
When Davie announced the suspension Tuesday, he said it had
"absolutely nothing to do with his conduct as far as football or
game-related."
Jones was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2015 at Tennessee
but left the program after two seasons, one as a redshirt. He
spent a year at Mt. San Jacinto College in his native California
before joining New Mexico in 2018.
Last season, he appeared in 11 games (seven starts) and
accounted for 1,703 yards of total offense. He threw 13
touchdown passes and 12 interceptions.
In 2019, he has shared time with redshirt sophomore Tevaka
Tuioti. On the season, Jones has completed 44.7 percent of his
passes with two touchdowns and seven picks. He also is third on
the Lobos in rushing with 204 yards and has rushed for three
touchdowns.
