Former Bengals player Adam “Pacman” Jones was arrested early Saturday morning outside of a Covington bar, Covington police said.
Police said officers were dispatched to a bar along W Sixth Street around 12:45 a.m. for a “report of a disturbance involving a customer and an employee.”
When they arrived, they were directed to a car trying to leave the area. Police identified Jones as a passenger in the vehicle. The 41-year-old was then arrested on charges “related to his level of intoxication and his behavior.”
The former Bengals corner was transported to the Kenton County Detention Center, and while being booked, Jones assaulted the arresting officer, police said.
He has been charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct and assault of a police officer. Jones is set to be in court Monday at 8:30 a.m.
Covington police also said Jones is “being held to the same standard of conduct as any other individual in (the) community.”
This is not the first time Jones has been arrested. In 2023, he pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct after an incident at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International (CVG) Airport. Jones accepted a plea deal with prosecutors after he was originally booked into the Boone County Jail for alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening after he was removed from a United flight.
