Jim Jones he was recently involved in an airport brawl with two men in a wild scene that saw the men fall down an escalator before authorities intervened. According to new reports, Jim Jones will not face charges as he was found to have acted in self-defense.
As reported by TMZ, Jim Jones was traveling first class at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and upon landing attempted to remove his bags from an overhead compartment, angering a fellow passenger. Jones gave the man a stern warning after punching him and allegedly grabbing his arm while another man began shouting at him.
Deputies were called to the plane, but the men left without proceeding with charges while heading to baggage claim. He was there when one of the men physically approached Jones with the other man from the plane incident involved. Jones picked up one man and hit him, while another continued to hit Jones from behind. Officers quickly arrived on the scene and broke up the fight with one of the men looking worse for wear.
Surveillance video of the fight supported claims made by Jones that the fight did not start. The Harlem rapper and entrepreneur told TMZ Hip Hop, “I was minding my own business and standing up for myself. They got what they were looking for.”
They certainly did.
