The starting quarterback for the University of New Mexico Lobos has been suspended from the team after being accused of indecent exposure in a parking structure on campus. According to the criminal complaint, a woman was walking in the Cornell Parking Structure last when she noticed someone slowly drive by her several times. The woman told police the driver eventually stopped his car and as she walked by she heard him say something. His passenger window was down, so the woman said she asked the man, “Are you good?”The complaint states the driver, now identified as Sheriron Jones, responded saying, “No, can you give me 10 seconds?”The woman said she approached the car and noticed Jones had his penis in his right hand and was “stroking his already hard genitalia,” the complaint read. She told police she then walked away and called police. The woman said she recognized Jones from social media and mutual acquaintances. Detectives watched surveillance footage of the incident and while they were not able to make out Jones’ face, they did make out the license plate on the car in question and confirmed the car belonged to Jones. Jones is now facing charges of indecent exposure.In coach Bob Davie's weekly presser Tuesday he said Jones' was indefinitely suspended. The university said they had no further comment. Since the details of the case became public, UNM students and local sports producers have been reacting to the news.Some students said this looks very bad for the program, whether Jones is found guilty or not.“He's the leader of the team. It sets a bad image for the team for sure,” student Bret Cervantes said.Other students said it’s made them rethink how they do things around campus, especially parking decks.“It definitely makes me want to keep my head on a swivel around there especially because it is more hidden,” student Reyna Ramirez said.While Lobos head coach Bob Davie did not address questions about why Jones was suspended at a news conference Tuesday, local ESPN affiliate and producer of the Jim Villanucci Show, Sam Houser, said Davie will likely be bombarded by questions the next time he goes in front of the media.“I've never known a coach to be more candid than Bob Davie. He'll talk about himself being on the hot seat the same way that he'll recap a game, so part of me says, yeah, he'll talk about what he's allowed to talk about,” Houser said.
