Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones, the former NFL star, found himself in trouble with the law once again after attending the high-stakes fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson in Arlington, Texas.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning, shortly after the bout at AT&T Stadium, which had drawn a lot of attention.
Jones was taken into custody outside the Loews Arlington Hotel, just a short distance from the venue where Tyson and Paul had faced off in the ring.
The former cornerback, known for his fiery persona both on and off the field, was arrested on several charges, including public intoxication, resisting arrest, evading arrest, and assaulting a police officer, according to booking records from the Arlington Police Department.
A Night Out Turns Sour
Earlier that evening, Jones had been seen enjoying the fight night festivities.
The 13-year NFL veteran, who had a career spanning multiple teams including the Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys, and Cincinnati Bengals, had shared a video on Instagram.
In it, he was seen hanging out with comedian Tom Segura, both of them in high spirits as they watched the showdown. Jones was dressed in an all-black outfit, complete with a matching cowboy hat.
However, what began as a night of celebration soon took a turn when Jones found himself in police custody.
He was released on a $319 bond early Saturday morning, according to jail records.
A Pattern of Legal Trouble
This arrest is far from Jones’ first encounter with the law.
Over the years, the former NFL player has had multiple run-ins, with a total of ten arrests since 2000.
His troubles began long before this latest incident and have plagued him throughout his career and beyond.
One of his most infamous moments occurred in 2008 when he got into a physical altercation at the Atlanta Airport.
While police later determined he was not the aggressor in the fight, the incident added to his growing reputation for off-field issues.
Later that same year, he had another altercation at a Dallas hotel, this time with his bodyguard, which resulted in a four-game suspension by the NFL for violating its personal conduct policy.
Jones’ troubles didn’t end there.
In 2019, he was arrested at a casino in Indiana following allegations of cheating at a blackjack table.
He was reportedly combative with authorities, leading to charges of disorderly conduct, intimidation, resisting arrest, and public intoxication.
A Glimpse into Jones’ Past
Jones’ legal issues are not just limited to public altercations.
In December 2023, he pled guilty to disorderly conduct after an outburst on an airplane in Kentucky.
During a court appearance, he apologized to the officers he had screamed at during the incident.
As part of a plea deal, more serious charges were dropped, and he was given a 30-day jail sentence, which was suspended as long as he stayed out of trouble for the next two years.
Given his lengthy history with the law, it remains to be seen how Saturday’s arrest will affect his legal standing, particularly with his recent probation sentence still in effect.
What’s Next for Adam Jones?
As of now, it’s unclear what the future holds for Jones, both in terms of his legal matters and any potential return to the public eye.
His most well-known stint was with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2015 and was named a first-team All-Pro the following year.
Whether this arrest will be another chapter in his turbulent post-NFL life or lead to more serious consequences remains to be seen.
One thing is certain: Jones’ story is far from over, and the fallout from this latest incident could have lasting repercussions on his future.
