Jim Jones pleads not guilty to assault
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 19 May 2009
US rap-type Jim Jones has pleaded not guilty to assaulting a seventeen year old at a concert in Panama City, Florida, back in March.
Damion Johns alleges that the incident occurred during a performance for MTV’s ‘Spring Break’ programme, and claims that Jones told him to move out of the way, and then attacked him. Johns responded by hitting the rapper back, before two bodyguards pushed him to the ground and continued with the assault.
Jones is also due to appear in court in New York next month in relation to another incident which took place in December last year at the city’s Louis Vuitton shop, where it’s alleged he was involved in an brawl with Ne-Yo’s manager, Jayvon Smith.
