State Rep. Jewell Jones won't appear before a judge for a preliminary examination for more than two months as his lawyer argues that Jones was mistreated by police during the April 6 incident that led to his arrest.
Jones, D-Inkster, will next appear before Livingston County District Judge Daniel Bain on June 30 for a hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence for him to face trial on several charges including drunken driving and resisting and obstructing police.
Jones' lawyer Ali Hammoud told The Detroit News on Sunday that his client should have never been arrested by police because reports of his "crash" were incorrect and there was no proof that Jones was intoxicated.
