GREEN BAY — According to City of Green Bay Municipal Court records, Green Bay Packers defensive end Datone Jones was ticketed marijuana possession on Jan. 19 — the day after the Packers' loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game — and paid an $880 fine a month later.

That would explain why [URL=http://www.espnwisconsin.com/common/more.php?m=49&action=blog&r=40&post_id=53391" target="_blank]Jones received a one-game suspension from the NFL on Thursday[/URL] for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, meaning the third-year defensive end will miss the Packers' Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Chicago Bears.

According to the [URL=http://greenbaywi.gov/municipal-court-records/" target="_blank]Green Bay Municipal Court website[/URL], Jones pleaded guilty to possession of THC and paid his fine on Feb. 10, and the case was then closed. The case is considered a civil ordinance violation, not a misdemeanor or criminal conviction.

There was confusion as to why Jones received just a one-game suspension, given that the NFL substance-abuse policy does not specifically mention what ground there would be for a one-game penalty. [URL=http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/07/03/reason-for-datone-jones-one-game-suspension-not-known/" target="_blank]As pointed out by Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio Friday[/URL], St. Louis Rams running back Isaiah Pead received a one-game suspension two years ago, and it was later learned that he'd been arrested for marijuana possession.

A league source had said Thursday that a one-game suspension would indicate a violation of the policy without a positive test. An NFL spokesman did not return an email Thursday, with the Fourth of July weekend coming.

Dat one oz. cost him one game.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Thanks for posting how he got a single game suspension, it'll be interesting how they handle Guion... if it's a one game suspension like Jones or a fur game suspension, etc.

So it's
First strike with positive test = No suspension, just a warning
First strike without positive test = one game suspension
Second strike = 4 games suspension
Third Strike = 1 year suspension

They get a discount if the test catches them vs. another way on the first strike, I guess
