As officers approached, the driver accelerated and led authorities on a short chase. Police pulled in front of the SUV to stop it and were hit by the driver.
Four people inside the vehicle, including Jones, were arrested early Thursday on multiple charges including narcotics possession and receiving stolen property.
The 41-year-old rapper said he told the driver of the car, identified as Ana Rajnee Miles, to pull over but said she was acting “incoherent,” according to the police report.

Investigators searched the car and found a backpack in the back seat containing 23 Oxycodone pills, a Titan .25-caliber pistol with seven bullets in the chamber, marijuana, a Ruger SR 9mm handgun reported stolen from DeKalb County in March, another backpack that contained a variety of Oxycodone, Percocet and THC oil, a passport and $148 in cash.
Officials said Jones admitted smoking marijuana, but claimed the marijuana found in the car was not his. He also denied any knowledge of the firearms and told officers he has a prescription for the pills.
Jones faces charges including receiving stolen property, possession of firearm during the commission of a crime, narcotics possession, marijuana possession and dangerous drugs to be kept in original container, according to jail reports.
