Jim Jones was involved in a CRAZY brawl last night in Connecticut which resulted in him getting arrested, but not before it took five cops and a little bit of mace to subdue him ... TMZ has learned. TMZ has obtained insane video of the fight going down inside the casino after a party hosted by Diddy at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. Our sources say a guy, who seemed intoxicated, came up to Jones and started talking smack to him, which Jones tried to ignore. According to our sources, the guy then started getting physical and throwing punches and Jones fought back in self defense. Then the guy's friends jumped in ... then Jim's people jumped in ... and IT WAS ON!!! We're told Jones had no idea who the guy was or what triggered his beef with Jones. (TMZ)Jones has since spoke on what went down and admitted the situation has been exaggerated.
"40k in bonds 1 night had a ball lets see of I can get tht 40 back on th crap table wooord #vampirelife," he tweeted Saturday (February 25)
"This is gettin blown way out of proportion" (Jim Jones' Twitter)
