Previous arrests

Jonas was previously arrested in 2016 after an incident at the Mount Royale Hotel in York.

This incident took place in the early hours of the morning and he was alleged to have been involved in a row with a night porter.

The porter claimed he was assaulted by the actor.

Jonas was subsequently ordered to undertake 80 hours unpaid work and 10 hours’ worth of rehab with the probation service.

This punishment was revoked after it was revealed he was already working as a gardener and grass cutter in an unpaid capacity.
