Indiana Pacers rookie Kameron Jones, 23, was arrested by Indiana State Police on Oct. 20 after being pulled over during a traffic stop and booked into the Marion County Jail in Indianapolis.
According to police, Jones faces preliminary charges of reckless driving and resisting law enforcement, though the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office had not formally filed charges as of publication.
Jones, selected 38th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft by the Pacers, was a second-team All-American during his senior year at Marquette University.
In a statement, the Pacers said:
“We are aware of the situation involving Kam Jones. We are in the process of gathering additional information and will not have any further comment at this time.”
Court documents state that around 9:47 a.m., a state trooper observed Jones driving approximately 90 mph in an erratic manner on southbound I-65. The report alleges that Jones’ Cadillac changed lanes rapidly, sometimes without signaling, and followed other vehicles too closely.
Police say the officer activated his emergency lights, but Jones did not immediately pull over, continuing for several minutes before stopping near the Fletcher Avenue exit in Fountain Square, Indianapolis.
Jones was taken into custody following the traffic stop and reportedly told officers he was “running late for Pacers practice,” according to court documents.
He also claimed that while he noticed his turn signal, he didn’t realize the officer was attempting to pull him over.
The rookie has yet to make his debut with the Pacers and is expected to remain sidelined until at least Nov. 9 due to a back injury.
After being drafted, Jones told ESPN, “I’m just ready to get to Naptown and get to work.”
