Rep. Jewell Jones suspended from Inkster auxiliary police following drunken driving arrest
Updated May 06, 2021;
State Rep. Jewell Jones, D-Inskter, is no longer an active volunteer police officer.
The 25-year-old, youngest-ever Michigan House representative was suspended from Inkster’s auxiliary police in response to his April 6 drunken driving arrest, department Police Chief William T. Riley III said. Jones is also accused of illegally having a firearm in a cupholder of his console while drunk.
The police chief said Jones’ suspension is in line with how any other auxiliary officer would be treated.
“If they’re arrested, anything of that nature, we would immediately suspend them from any type of service,” he said, “and we would wait to see what comes out of the investigation.”
