Patriots' Chandler Jones had 'medical emergency' on Sunday

— -- FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones, who led the team with 12.5 sacks during the regular season, was hospitalized on Sunday for an undisclosed issue after reportedly visiting the Foxborough Police Department, where dispatch records show he was evaluated by five officers.

The Boston Herald reported that Jones showed up at the police department with a "medical emergency" at 7:42 a.m. Sunday before being transported to Norwood Hospital shortly after 8 a.m. The Herald also obtained dispatch records that indicate an officer was sent to Jones' nearby home to "secure the residence."

In a statement, the Patriots said, "Chandler Jones was admitted to the hospital on Sunday and released that day. He reported to work on time Monday morning and has participated in all meetings and practices since then."

When initially contacted by the Herald, Foxborough Police Chief Edward T. O'Leary denied that his department and officers had any dealing with Jones, according to the newspaper.

Dispatch records obtained by the Herald indicated otherwise.

According to the newspaper, the records also show that a Foxborough officer modified the dispatch record of the emergency call at 3:02 p.m. Tuesday, shortly after the Herald called O'Leary and received a copy of the dispatch call records.

O'Leary later explained to the Herald that medical information was deleted from the record, and that he initially said his department and officers had no dealing with Jones because "it was a medical call" and he "didn't look at it as a police specific call."
