Jets offensive lineman Adrian Jones was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with driving under the influence, sources said yesterday.

Jones, driving alone, was stopped by police in Nassau County, L.I., at approximately 4 a.m., a source said. He didn't participate in Saturday's team meeting and walk-through and was declared inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Asked yesterday why Jones didn't dress for the game, coach Eric Mangini said it was "a coaching decision."

Jones was fined $20,000 by the team, a source said.

"I am deeply sorry for my actions and for putting myself before the team," Jones said in a statement. "I apologized to my family, my teammates and my coaches for my behavior. I used poor judgment and will be held accountable for it."

Jones will be subject to the NFL's substance-abuse program.

"We are extremely disappointed Adrian would put himself in this situation, and we take these allegations very seriously," the team said in a statement. "(The Jets) expect all players and personnel to conduct themselves with the highest regard for the welfare of our community. Adrian has apologized to his teammates, the organization and the fans, accepting full responsibility for his actions and the consequences that follow."

Jones, a fourth-round pick in 2004, started every game in 2005. He lost his job in training camp to Anthony Clement, but appeared in the first 10 games on special teams. As a freshman at Kansas, Jones was involved in a serious car crash that required a three-day stay in ICU with head injuries. There was no report of alcohol being involved; Jones said the car blew a tire and rolled twice.

isn't next year his contract year? not only do we need to sign/draft a guard next year but a back-up T as well. Clement has been solid this year but is long in the tooth. bad decision by Jones.
