Overview

• Law enforcement was called to a disturbance at the Jail Second Story Bar in Covington, Kentucky, early June 8 and took former NFL cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones into custody.
• Court documents state that while handcuffed at the Kenton County Detention Center, Jones intentionally elbowed an officer in the face, causing the officer’s lip to bleed.
• Jones is charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct and assault on a police officer and was freed on a $10,000 bond that morning.
• His agent, Peter Schaffer, contends the charges shifted without basis and describes the arrest as an example of overzealous policing after Jones asked why he was being held.
• The June incident follows multiple alcohol-related arrests since 2005 and Jones is set to appear for arraignment Wednesday.
