Jones details released

Assistant State's Attorney Scott Larson said the men were walking in the 600 block of East Daniel Street holding hands when Jones drove by in a car. He and others in the car taunted the pedestrians by calling them derogatory names, Larson said. The car stopped, Jones got out and called the men more names, Larson said.

He then hit each of them in the head with a fist. One sustained a cut to the inside of his mouth and the other had swelling around his eyes, he said.

Larson said Jones, a defensive tackle for the Illinois team, told police that he had been "jumped" by one of the men a week earlier.
