Former NFL cornerback Adam 'Pacman' Jones was arrested again following an incident that took place at an Indiana casino Friday (November 16) night.
Jones, 41, was booked into Dearborn County Jail on one single count of suspicion of disorderly conduct, which carries a maximum penalty of 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine, authorities confirmed to NBC News on Saturday (November 16). The former All-Pro cornerback was initially arrested for public intoxication, intimidation and resisting arrest, according to the Indiana Gaming Commission.
Gaming agents responded to a report calling "to investigate a patron for possibly cheating at a table game," according to a statement from the IGC obtained by NBC News.
"IGC responded to the table games room, and upon arrival, the patron immediately became verbally combative and disorderly with IGC enforcement agents" and casino employees, the statement read.
Jones was reportedly playing blackjack when the alleged incident took place, according to IGC Deputy Director Jennifer Reske, though she didn't specify what he was doing to draw attention from casino operators. The alleged incident is the latest involving Jones, a former first-round pick whose career was marred with off-field incidents.
Jones, who retired in 2019, was charged with intoxication and terroristic threatening for an incident that took place on an airplane in September 2023. TMZ Sports later obtained footage of his arrest that Jones claimed proved his innocence.
The video, which was captured by another passenger, shows Jones asking to change seats because of a faulty electric outlet, which leads to a back and forth exchange with flight attendants. Jones is then told that the plane will be re-routed back to the gate because of his behavior, at which point he argues with one flight attendant and then curses at other passengers who became disgruntled by the delay.
The former cornerback was then escorted off of the plane and taken into custody after it returned to the gate. Jones was placed on probation during the 2005 NFL Draft for a fight that took place during his collegiate career at West Virginia and later charged in a Las Vegas strip club shooting, as well as several other incidents.
Jones was selected by the Tennessee Titans at No. 6 overall in the 2005 NFL Draft before being traded to the Dallas Cowboys in 2008. The former West Virginia standout spent the 2009 season with the Winnipeg Blue bombers before eight seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals (2010-17) and one season with the Denver Broncos (2018).
