Former Bengals Player Adam Pacman Jones Arrested at Cincinnati Airport

Former Cincinnati Bengals player Adam "Pacman" Jones arrested for alcohol intoxication and terroristic threatening at the airport.

Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Adam "Pacman" Jones found himself in trouble once again as he was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Authorities were called after a report of an "unruly passenger," and Jones was subsequently booked on misdemeanor charges of alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct, and terroristic threatening. The arrest took place prior to his scheduled departure on a flight, and he was taken to the Boone Country Detention Center.

The specifics of Jones's arrest have not been released at this time. However, he spoke to WKRC-TV after his release and claimed that he had asked to be moved to another seat due to a malfunctioning phone charger. According to Jones, he was then informed that the plane would have to turn around, which he believed led to his arrest. He vehemently denied being intoxicated and rejected the allegation of making terroristic threats.

Jones expressed his disappointment and embarrassment over the situation while speaking to WLWT-TV as he left the jail. This incident adds to a long history of off-field incidents and suspensions that have marred his 12-year tenure in the NFL. After being drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2005, Jones faced multiple suspensions for his conduct, including at least 10 incidents involving police interviews. He briefly played for the Dallas Cowboys before signing with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2010, where he spent the majority of his career. Jones was even selected for the Pro Bowl in 2014 and 2015. However, his career ended with a brief stint in Denver in 2018 before being released.

This latest arrest serves as a reminder of the troubled past that has followed Jones throughout his football career. Despite his talent on the field, his off-field behavior has consistently overshadowed his accomplishments. It remains to be seen how this incident will impact his future prospects in the NFL, if at all.
