Andre Jones released from jail, claims mistaken identity

By Alan Trubow | Tuesday, August 7, 2007, 05:45 PM

Updated with release: Suspended defensive tackle Andre Jones posted bail and was released from jail at 4:30 p.m. today.

Jones was charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon after an incident on July 27.

His lawyer, Ariel Payan, said Tuesday that Jones’ arrest is a case of mistaken identity.

Austin police accuse Jones and former teammate Robert Joseph with breaking into a Southeast Austin apartment last Friday. In court documents, witnesses told police that Joseph had a handgun and Jones indicated that he had a gun in his waistband. The documents allege that Joseph threatened to kill a 14-year-old in the apartment and that the two men stole cash, cell phones and video game equipment from the apartment and its occupants.

“Andre says that he wasn’t with Robert Joseph,” Payan said. “Andre knows Robert from the team, but the two are not friends. Andre said he was somewhere else at the time of the robbery and he has an alibi.”

the first report was that it was a guy who was 6'2 220....how do you get that confused with somebody who is 6'5 295? I really think hes innocent (not looking at this situation with orange tented shades either)

Interesting development and we must wait and see how the judicial process works out before we chastise this young man.

g$$ please stay out of this post if you are going to "cause" trouble.

That is why we should "try" to wait until we have all the facts and information.
