Radio transmissions shed light on Chandler Jones incident

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Dispatch transmissions are shedding light on what happened Sunday morning involving Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones.

Under the law, the police chief doesn't have to release any information. The Foxboro town manager has confirmed that officers engaged in a medical assistance response Sunday morning, but did not say who or what for.

Chandler Jones was rushed to Norwood Hospital after arriving at the Foxborough Police Department for a medical emergency around 7:45 a.m. Sunday. What exactly the medical emergency has been not confirmed.

"Yeah. I've got his keys off the kitchen table. I was able to lock the front door. "If you want to just pass along to the fire, he was definitely involved with Class D (Delta) before this happened, just so they know," says the radio transmission.

The police chief is not clarifying what the officer is referencing. Class D drugs include marijuana and other drugs.

Wednesday afternoon, the Boston Globe reported that Jones did not overdose, but had a bad reaction to synthetic marijuana, citing a source.

New England Patriots confirmed that defensive end Chandler Jones was admitted to the hospital Sunday and released later the same day. Jones was at practice Monday and has been with the team ever since.

Foxborough Town Manager William G. Keegan said they are currently in the process of assembling and reviewing all information related to the incident and the town will release a statement, but it will also follow the law.

Former Boston superintendent Dan Linskey said said that information from a medical call is protected accept for the basics, which are in the police log.

"There was a medical assist and he's under no obligation to provide information that occurred on a medical assist and nor should he," said Linskey.

If there was evidence of a crime during the medical assist, Linksey said police could seize it and proceed with a criminal investigation. Foxborough Police haven't discussed any criminal investigation as of now.

FOX25 has asked for several public records, including any video from the police department that may have caught Jones' initial arrival at the police department.

If anyone knows what happened with  Jones it should be long time Foxboro Chief O'Leary, but he declined to comment when FOX25 approached him Wednesday night before a town meeting. In his words "he's been told to zip it."

By whom, he didn't say.

If the report is accurate and Jones had a bad reaction to synthetic marijuana, also known as spice, he wouldn't be the first.
