Bengals' Adam Jones involved in casino incident

Print

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones is back in the news for an off-field issue.

Jones was involved in an issue at Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg early Wednesday, according to a release from the Lawrenceburg Police Department.

The matter remains under investigation, police said, and the department would not comment further.

The Bengals confirmed no charges had been filed against Jones in the incident and stood by a team policy not to comment on any unresolved matters.

Jones didn't offer official comment when The Enquirer reached out.

Much to Jones' chagrin, a long history of off-field transgressions have made him a lightning rod. When his name appears on a police blotter, it gets attention.

Jones' most recent association with a police investigation doesn't appear to be of great concern to him, however, and he doesn't think local and national media should care, either.

He criticized media outlets for their coverage of the Hollywood Casino incident in a profanity-laden Instagram video posted Wednesday.

Warning: Instagram post contains offensive language

"Man, I'm in the car today, I got a call saying I'm on the news 'bout the casino last night," Jones said in the video. "Man, y'all need to stop that s***. Y'all ain't got s*** else to report? ... Y'all mother f****** ... Get the f*** outta here."

Jones' professional football career is littered with legal and other off-field issues dating to his early days as a member of the Tennessee Titans franchise. Among his lowlights there, Jones was suspended for the 2007 season and then forced to sit out the 2009 season as teams were reluctant to sign him.

Legal trouble followed Jones to Hamilton County, where he has faced DUI and assault charges.
