Inkster lawmaker Jewell Jones (D-Inkster) ordered to stand trial [lawyer cries]
Partial:
Howell — State Rep. Jewell Jones, D-Inkster, will stand trial on multiple counts including drunken driving and resisting and obstructing police stemming from an April crash in Livingston County.
Livingston County District Judge Daniel Bain made the ruling Wednesday following hours of arguments during Jones' preliminary examination.
A short video clip of the April 6 incident played during the proceeding made all the difference, the judge noted to a packed courtroom as he delivered his decision.
“I think the whole show is the video — the video speaks for itself,” Bain said. “They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, and this was.”
Jones is charged with resisting and obstructing a police officer; operating a vehicle with a high blood alcohol content; operating while intoxicated; reckless driving; and possession of a weapon while under the influence of alcohol.
