Michigan Rep. Jewell Jones Will Cop To Two Felonies, Says 'It's All Coming Together' Via GIF

Michigan Rep. Jewell Jones is expected to plead guilty Wednesday to a number of charges stemming from an April drunken driving incident and his subsequent arrival in jail with a handcuff key, media outlets are reporting.

An attorney for the Inkster legislator says he'll enter a guilty plea for felony resisting and obstructing and four misdemeanors, including driving while impaired, having a weapon while impaired and attempting to escape.

The plea deal was initially extended to Jones in November, The Detroit News reports. He initially rejected the offer and planned to take the case to trial a week from now.
