Brandon Jones, a cornerback for the Washington State University football team, was dismissed today for violating team rules.  On February 6, he was arrested near the WA State University campus for suspicion of a Washington DUI.

Jones started his college career at Cal, but he transferred to Washington State in 2008. He started 11 games for the Cougars last season, but missed the Apple Cup game, due to a lingering back injury.  It is unclear whether or not this is Jones’ first Washington DUI arrest.  But it appears that it is in fact his first arrest, which is very good for Jones.

If this were Jones’ second Washington drunk driving arrest, he would be looking at some very stiff mandatory penalties, including being incarcerated for a period of at least 30 to 45 days in jail.  Jones would also be looking at a mandatory minimum milt-year license revocation.
