Jim Jones arrested, drama unfolds via Twitter

Jim Jones was arrested in New Jersey over a four-year-old $120 traffic fine, and kept fans updated on Twitter during the process.

US hip hopper Jim Jones was arrested in Teaneck, New Jersey on Tuesday, in relation to an unpaid traffic fine dating back four years. The Diplomats star was taken to a local police station where he paid the fine in full (it was only $120), whilst keeping fans updated on events via Twitter. "Well, it didn't go the way I wanted" he said at one point. "I'm in the precinct but I still have my phone they ain't trippin, they said just procedure".

Following his release, he told fans: "The funny part was watching them have to count all the money in my pocket lol. I must say they were very cool. And it was a punk ass warrant from 2005 for 120 dollars. Make sure you pay old tickets".
