Stemming from an occurrence with Ne-Yo’s entourage on New Year’s Eve, Jim Jones was charged Monday at Manhattan’s 18th Precinct.  The charge was a misdemeanor assault charge.

“I guess I got lucky,” Jones told MTV. “I got a DAT.”  Jones was issued a Desk Apperance Ticket instead of landing in jail.

The altercation took place at the Fifth Avenue Luis Vuitton Store.  Jones reportedly punched and kicked a man named Vaughn, the brother of Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith, who works with Ne-Yo and is the longtime best friend and colleague of Jones’ lyrical nemesis, Jay-Z.

Despite internet reports, Jones denied knowing anything about the incident when asked by MTV, stating that he was just shopping.
