Dejean Jones

This makes sense as to why both BDJ and Nadder were seen last night loading up on Corona's, Strawberry Margaritas and Nos energy drinks at the gas station. Party time 2 nights before your biggest game so far this season. Pure Genius

@ShowTime_McKay: Bad timing

No kidding. Couldn't he at the very least waited til the weekend? Get past the last big test of the non-con. A week before getting McKay eligible.

But in the end.... is it SO hard to not do stupid ****, if not outright illegal - for simply the 4-5 months of the season? Really?

 

[SmellyTP]

Well if you want to look at the positives all the time it will give Nader/someone else a chance to step up and possibly allow them to have a breakout game.

Seems that some people are saying it's not too serious? I would still have to believe he'll sit out a game or two.

@ROBWGRAY: Just spoke with someone at the Story County Jail. He said Bryce Dejean-Jones is still detained there. Total bond is $1,600.

Well boys, gather up your penny jars. It's up to us to get BDJ outta jail! Everyone meet at the SC Jail in 30 minutes with your pocket change in hand! WE CAN DO THIS CF!!

95% of college students probably have been in the same house as someone that is smoking. If that's all that happened this is a joke, and the Ames PD is a complete joke. If it's something more serious, I will happily revise my statement.

He can bond out for $160, to a bail bond company. I would imagine the same DSM law firm that represents troubled Hawkeye athletes will represent BDJ, since they've represented every ISU athlete to get in trouble in the past 5-10 years and one of the partners in said firm is a former ISU football player.

I'm not sure that he's even charged with a violation of Iowa Code, but rather an Ames City ordinance. Iowa Code uses the term "Gatherings Where Controlled Substances Are Used" and not "Drug House".

Based on the three charges showing, I'm guessing that there was someone who wasn't BDJ smoking weed in his apartment. BDJ would have been likely charged with possession of marijuana and not "Drug House". Or at least in addition to it. He probably ran his mouth to the cop, so the cop arrested him on this BS charge, which he would have had probable cause for (since there likely was someone smoking weed in his house).

He shouldn't miss a minute of tomorrow night for it, IMO. I'd say the same if it was an Iowa player.

Is it finals this week at ISU?

 

[A-town Cy]

Bryce hasn't been a citizen of #FocusTown since getting to Ames, unfortunate.

Can anyone bail him out? If so I'll be on my way.

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

Seems like a lot of money..

I have plenty of money but I don't know how to get $1,600 in cash in the middle of the night.

Twitter is starting to run with the story.

Best guess on BDJ: At a party where marijuana was used. Often that charge is used when not enough evidence to charge intent to deliver.

ugh, would they just legalize it already?

Hosting a drug house is not just having someone "light up" in your house.

Is Nadder friends with Clanton?

 

[CyArob]

Definitely not playing tomorrow.

 

[CYISTHEMAN]

Anyone can bail him out. The interesting part is that there is no possession charge.

I just looked BDJ up on iowacourts,.gov and he also has an unpaid speeding ticket therefore suspended license:

He doesn't have to get bonded out. As soon as the judge comes in and he can plea they will release him.

No. He will not plea today and, in my experience, the judge would strongly advise him against pleading to this charge and suggest he speak with an attorney first. I imagine the public defender will be appointed and then he will be free to seek his own counsel if he so chooses.

 

[SighClone23]

Just disappointed in BDJ right now. Could care less about tomorrow's game at this point, just hoping this isn't as big of a deal as it seems. Hope it's a learning and maturing experience for the young man, even though it may be unpleasant at the time.

 

[ChrisMWilliams]

Rob & I are still compiling credible information.

What we know: BDJ is in jail. Rob spoke to the jail, who confirmed this.

Other than that, there are a lot of unknowns out there that will be sifted through today. Should know more this afternoon but nothing definitive before then.

 

[theantiAIRBHG]

As someone who knows how bonds work (shhhhhhs) $1,000 means it is much less serious than say... $5,000. Time will tell, Fred will do what is right, and justice will prevail.

A bond that is less money is less serious than a bond that is more money?

Really hard hitting and informative stuff here, Bret.
