Ex-NFL CB Adam "Pacman" Jones arrested over alleged assault charges

Former NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones was arrested on Saturday morning. The retired defensive back, who has starred in multiple incidents with law enforcement in recent years, was booked on multiple charges.

WOHIO reported that the former cornerback was arrested in Kenton County, Kentucky, on multiple charges, including assault on a police officer, public intoxication and disorderly conduct.

There was no clear indication of what led to the player's arrest. He was booked into the jail at 1:51 a.m., per public records.

Adam "Pacman" Jones played in the NFL for 12 seasons. He had stints with the Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos, hanging his cleats at 35 after the 2018 season.

Jones finished his career as a one-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro, while posting 508 tackles, three sacks, seven forced fumbles for 102 recovered yards and 17 interceptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns.

Before this incident, Adam "Pacman" Jones had turned a lot of heads for sharing a video to address Aaron Rodgers' potential signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers on May 30.

Adam "Pacman" Jones was arrested multiple times in the past two decades

This isn't the first time Adam "Pacman" Jones has found himself in legal trouble. He has been arrested several times in the past two decades, going all the way to 2007 and 2008. He was suspended for the full 2007 season and part of the next due to off-field incidents that landed him in legal trouble.

Back in 2023, he was arrested at CVG Airport in Northern Kentucky for public intoxication, disorderly conduct and making terroristic threats on an airplane. More recently, in November 2024, he was arrested for public intoxication, assault of a police officer and evading arrest after the boxing fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul in Arlington, Texas.

At the start of May, Adam "Pacman" Jones also called out Antonio Brown after the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver mocked Deion Sanders' toe amputation.

"Twin don’t make me have you leave your house in Miami 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 and go to Tampa n***a if u say one more word thing about pop !!! N***a it’s up #deionsanders or the family 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤬🤬🤬🤬🫑💪💪💪💙💙💙💙💩 off limit lil a** n***a 🍩🍩🍩🍩🤔🤔🤔"

They exchanged words on X, which resulted in the platform banning Brown's account for a dozen hours after he made homosexual insinuations against Jones.
