Indiana Pacers rookie Kam Jones is currently behind bars just days before the NBA season -- the former Marquette standout was arrested after a "brief" police chase in Indianapolis.
According to local reports, cops attempted to execute a traffic stop on a car that was driving recklessly and erratically on Interstate 65 around 10 AM ... but the driver did not immediately pull over.
Once officers were able to make contact with the man behind the wheel -- later identified as Jones -- he was arrested and booked into the Marion County Adult Processing Center.
