Rep. Jewell Jones, 26, was arrested on April 6 for driving while drunk, resisting arrest, and possession of a firearm while intoxicated, though the video was only recently released. During the arrest footage, he can be heard refusing officers’ orders and referring to both the governor and Col. Joseph Gasper, the director of the Michigan State Police.
