Jim Jones has been officially charged with five felonies from his June arrest in Georgia. According to TMZ, the Dipset rapper has been hit with three counts of possession of a controlled substance and two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He was also hit with a misdemeanor for possession of marijuana under an ounce.
Jones was arrested on drug possession and weapons charges after the Mercedes he was riding in was pulled over. As the officer was conducting the traffic stop, driver Ana Rajnee Miles sped away and led the Atlanta police officers on a short chase.
After finally apprehending Jones and the other three vehicle occupants, investigators searched the car and discovered marijuana, 23 Oxycodone pills and a loaded Titan .25 caliber pistol inside a backpack. They also found a Ruger SR 9mm handgun reported stolen from Dekalb County in March.
In a second backpack, police found a variety of Oxycodone, Percocet, THC oil, Jones’ passport and $148 in what Jones called “petty cash.”
Jones’ arraignment is scheduled for later this month. If convicted on all six charges, he faces up to decades in prison.

Jim Jones was reportedly arrested on Wednesday night (June 21) in Coweta County, Georgia.
According to The Newnan Times-Herald, the Dipset O.G. was apprehended on drug possession and weapons charges. Coweta Country Sheriff’s Office investigator Jeremy Wood spotted a gray Mercedes crossing over into the left hand emergency lane when he decided to pull the vehicle over. Jones was in the backseat.
As the traffic stop was being conducted, the driver of the vehicle, Ana Rajnee Miles, took off and led officers on a brief police chase. Wood pulled in front of the car and the driver reportedly struck Wood’s vehicle intentionally.
Once the four occupants were out of the vehicle, Jones explained Miles was acting “incoherent” and wouldn’t pull over.
Investigators searched the vehicle and discovered 23 Oxycodone pills and a Titan .25 caliber pistol with seven bullets in the chamber tucked inside a backpack.
Weed was also found throughout the vehicle, along with a Ruger SR 9mm handgun reported stolen from Dekalb County in March.
In another backpack, police found a variety of Oxycodone, Percocet and THC oil as well as Jones’ passport and $148 in what Jones described as “petty cash.”
Everyone in the car was taken Newnan Piedmont Hospital to be medically cleared before they were booked into the Coweta County Jail on Thursday morning (June 21).
Jones was charged with multiple felonies, including possession of the stolen gun, possession of a firearm during commission of a crime and possession of narcotics. He was also charged with a misdemeanor for the prescription pills not being in their original container.
He was reportedly released on $7,000 bail.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]

Dipset reunion live from prison
I wear a mean dark pair of shades. So you can’t see my eyes unless my head is bent. You dig?
Jimmy is too old for this shit smh. I’m waiting for that f.aggot social media queen 50 to get some insults in. He prolly trying to come up with something “clever” as we speak.
No doubt he talking about getting the strap on again
I know mugshots aren’t exactly portraits, but dude looks REALLY bad.
Your boy getting paper about 8 bands….. but the bail cost 7
Camron, you’re next.
Naw Cam too smart and calulative; Freekey next lol. Time for Flee to link back with Vado (Since Khaled is wasting his talent) and revive the UN
C’mon Jim, smh
#WastedTalent
talent?
Bring that ass here chrissy
7 bullets in the chamber??
Wait…,why was he arrested for all this shit when he was not the driver of the vehicle??? Also a gun was found in a backpack that wasn’t jimmy’s ( not the one with the passport) this shit is crazy. All those drugs in his backpack are prescribed so at worst, he has an opioid/pain killer addiction. He shouldn’t be arrested for that. Also if the gun was his, I can’t blame him for moving around differently after hearing 2 rappers were shot and killed this week. I would move differently too. Free Jimmy
I bet he’s glad he free now and glad to get out of that County I live there and they don’t play
I aint disputed when a cop pulled me over or arrested me for smething I KNEW was illegal, i knew the risks….now getting shot for not pulling out a weapon is different or beat up for no reason, tjat i’d kill or die foe, dont put hands on me if i am jot resisting….stop giving excuses to illegal activities, jim got arrested because the drugs were not legal, how you gonna say “worse thing he is addicted to drugs lol, well its not legal drugs, the cop should just say oh ok and let him go? Lmao….yall are a trip and then you said “facts” lmao….redirect, rethink and reevaluate your life and way of thinking before its too late, its not cool to be a dumbass….i kearned2 the hard way….jimmy has enough money to hire a security with legal guns that’ll buss for him.. Bit thats not considered steeet, foh…meantime the rich whites dont even need security, they have no beef
stop giving excuses to illegal activities huh? You sound like you are trying to make America great again ? I wonder how you feel about the “illegal” children at the border? Lock up the criminals is your stance right, but what happens when criminals get to make the laws that define crimes? Weed was illegal 5 years ago, now it isn’t but most of the people who got caught got pretty heavy sentences with no leniency.
Weed isn’t illegal? You’re one of those people that got Trump elected. Moron. It is FEDERALLY illegal. Point blank. Yes, these cats need to win up to the bullshit they’re pulling and stop acting like victims. You’ve got money for $10K with of dope and a 50$K watch, but can’t just call an Uber? This dindu shit probably cost him at least 5 years of his life…
That’s a mean fucking chamber
Damn Jim
First Juelz, now Jimmy? What’s going on with Dipset these days?
Same doctor
What’s with these rappers fucking with opiates these days? That shit goes from recreational to heroin real quick
Get the strap
why jim jones look like a 40 year old dominican drug mule?
Dumb rappers…MAKE DUMB MOVES.
Jim riding dirty out here get it together dude and he snitched on the driver
Jimmy what are you doing giving fif troll ammunition.
stupid muthafucka….absoulutely no sympathy
dummy
When you’re still thuggin in yr 40s yr stupid. Jay-Z was smart to leave that life behind. Smarten up
jayz was never in that life you actually believe that shit?
He definitely was. He put out Reasonable Doubt independly on his own dime, with an all star cast of producers. You think he got that money working at Circuit City? There are a lot of rappers frontin. I think Jay is one of the ones who actually lived it and did it the right way. Peace.
We walk around here wondering why the younger cats don’t respect the OGs. It’s because some of them are right beside the young cats doing the same dirt and probably worse. If I saw someone twice my age doing the same dirt I’m doing I wouldn’t listen to them either.
I’ve watched these guys ride in 500,000 cars, floss platinum and drinking moet. Millions have past thru alot of these rappers hands during their careers. Now look at them. Pathetic as fuck. I got no sympathy for these cats cause they were blessed with more than most people will ever see in their lives and aint got shit to show for 10 years down the road
If you go to jail in Coweta County, GA on any drug or gun charges, the Judge is throwing the book at you. He’s going to get no less than 12 years (do 10). 2029 will be a big year for Jimmy!
Damn
He made that ballin song and what else? All these cats running around popping pills, and carrying stolen guns. Next it’s the irs, bankruptcy, and more love and hip hop.
Jimmy said she wouldn’t stop officer she was acting incoherent see kids doing drugs is bad for you Jimmy is 40yrs old but he looking at least 65yrs old why do all these artist wound up on drugs haven’t seen one not smoking blunts on interviews and popping pills like candy drinking alcohol like crazy and
He better hope Lanye hits him with that MAGA lawyer that got Max B’s life sentence overturned… he’s looking at at least a nickel after parole and good behavior etc. dumbass.
I agree. The judge is definitely throwing some time at him for this.
GET THE STRAP!
