According to KATU, Jones was charged with harassment and is scheduled to appear in court next week. 

Sgt. Pete Simpson of the Portland Police Bureau describes the incident:

"

While watching the group walk away from the bar, the sergeant observed a man, later identified as Terrence Jones, walk by a doorway where two homeless men were sleeping. Jones yelled, "Wake up," then raised his leg and stomped down on one of the men's legs. The men were sleeping in the doorway of 114 Northwest 3rd Avenue.

"

The reported victim was 46-year-old Daniel John Kellerher, who suffered a minor leg injury from Jones' stomp but nothing that would require immediate medical treatment, per Simpson.

The 21-year-old Jones is a native of Portland, becoming a star on the hardwood for Jefferson High School before heading to Kentucky to help John Calipari's Wildcats win the national championship in 2012.

Despite underperforming during his sophomore season, Jones opted to forego his final two seasons in Lexington and was taken 18th overall by the Houston Rockets in the 2012 NBA draft.

The 6'9", 250-pound forward played in only 19 regular season games for the Rockets as a rookie, averaging 5.5 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. Jones also spent time in the NBA Development League last season, appearing in 24 games for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
