Former NFL defensive back Adam "Pacman" Jones was arrested in Covington, Kentucky, early Saturday (June 7) morning, according to CBS Sports.

According to the court records,  Jones was arrested by the Covington Police Department and charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place, disorderly conduct, and assault of a police officer or a probation officer. 

"Officers determined [Jones] to be a danger to himself and others in his current intoxicated state," the arrest records read. "[Jones] was causing annoyance and alarm to the pedestrians nearby."

During the arrest, law enforcement officers claimed Jones had busted a cop's lip after "intentionally" throwing an elbow at the officer's face.

After being booked before 2 a.m., on Saturday, he posted a $10,000 bond and was released from the Kenton County jail around 11:30 a.m. Saturday. 

Jones’ latest arrest in Covington is at least the fourth time since 2021 that Jones has been arrested, and he’s been charged with public intoxication in three consecutive years.

Peter Schaffer, Jones’ attorney, issued a statement noting that his client is innocent of all charges and accusing Northern Kentucky police of abusing their authority.

“The recent arrest of Adam 'Pacman' Jones in Covington, Kentucky, is yet another example of overzealous policing and the systemic issues that plague our justice system,” Schaffer wrote. “Adam did nothing wrong other than exercise his right to ask why he was being detained - a fundamental question that every citizen should be allowed to ask without fear of retaliation.”

“Initially, officers claimed he was being arrested for assault and then shifted to public intoxication (which, in itself, is not a crime in many jurisdictions unless it leads to dangerous behavior), and finally settled on disorderly conduct - simply for asking why he was being detained,” the statement continued.
