Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones was arrested in October for speeding, driving without a valid license, and operating a vehicle with a controlled substance in his system, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jones was pulled over Oct. 1 for clocking in at 79 mph in a 55-mph zone. The officer on the scene reported Jones' eyes were bloodshot and the smell of marijuana emanated from the vehicle.

Jones admitted to smoking marijuana three hours earlier.

After a field sobriety test, Jones was taken to a hospital for a blood test. He was released from custody thereafter.

The rookie earned a starting role and produced two 100-yard performances before he was sidelined by an MCL injury that will keep him out another two-to-five weeks.
