Jerry Jones criticized for response to DE Sam Williams’ latest troubling incident

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Sam Williams found himself in trouble with the law this week for the second time in less than a year, but team owner Jerry Jones hardly seems bothered by the latest incident.

Williams was arrested on Sunday and charged with possession of a controlled substance and unlawful carrying of a weapon, according to police in Frisco, Texas. The drug charge, which was not for possession of marijuana, is a low-level felony. The weapons charge is a misdemeanor.

Williams, a second-round pick out of Ole Miss last year, also had a warrant issued for his arrest in January. The warrant stemmed from a December incident in which Williams slammed his Corvette into another vehicle while driving not far from the Cowboys’ facility. Police later determined that Williams was driving 98 mph in a 55-mph zone before the crash. He was cited for misdemeanor reckless driving.

Jones was asked on Wednesday about Williams’ arrest. The 80-year-old said Williams is “maturing” and was not driving as fast this time around.
