Adam “Pacman” Jones Arrested (Again) in Northern Kentucky

Adam “Pacman” Jones is facing new charges after another run-in with the law. This time in Covington.
The former Bengals cornerback was arrested early Friday morning, June 7th, outside Second Story Bar on West Seventh Street. According to police, they were called just before 1AM for a disturbance between a customer and an employee. When officers got there, they were directed to a car trying to leave the area. That’s when they stopped 41-year-old Jones, who was reportedly intoxicated and acting out.

He was arrested and taken to the Kenton County Jail, where police say he assaulted the arresting officer during booking. He’s now facing charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and assault of a police officer. His court date is scheduled for Monday morning.
This isn’t Pacman’s first brush with trouble. Back in 2023, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after an incident at CVG Airport. That arrest came after he was removed from a flight and booked for intoxication and making threats. He was given a 30-day sentence, which was suspended on the condition he stay out of trouble for two years.
Jones was also arrested last fall in Texas after a hotel altercation following the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight.

“Adam Jones is being held to the same standard of conduct as any other individual in our community,” their statement reads.
Jones played for the Bengals from 2010 to 2017 and has had multiple legal issues during and after his career.
