Ex-NFL CB Adam 'Pacman' Jones Arrested, Accused of Assaulting an Officer
Former NFL cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, 41, was arrested early Saturday in the Greater Cincinnati area for public intoxication and allegedly assaulting an officer. Jones was released later that morning after posting a $10,000 bond (via court records obtained by ESPN).
Jones faces charges of assaulting an officer, public intoxication, and disorderly conduct after police were called to the Jail Second Story Bar in Covington. He was booked into Kenton County Jail in Kentucky, where he allegedly attacked an officer.
Jones played 13 seasons in the NFL, best known for his tenure with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he earned a reputation as a tenacious cornerback.

The retired player, no stranger to controversy, continues to make headlines for the wrong reasons. Jones has a history of arrests for disorderly conduct and public intoxication, contributing to his reputation for volatile behavior.
In 2021, Jones served 18 days in jail after pleading no contest to two misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a bar altercation in Cincinnati.
In September 2023, Jones was arrested at Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport for alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening after turning into a nuisance on a flight.
