Former NFL defensive back Adam "Pacman" Jones pleaded not guilty Wednesday to multiple charges following his arrest over the weekend in greater Cincinnati.
Jones, 41, was arrested by the Covington Police Department early Saturday morning and charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place, disorderly conduct and assault of a police officer or a probation officer. Jones posted a $10,000 bond and was released around 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
Jones' attorney, Pete Schaefer, addressed the charges Wednesday, accusing the police and media of embellishing the facts of the case.
"The recent arrest of Adam 'Pacman' Jones in Covington, Kentucky, is yet another example of overzealous policing and the systemic issues that plague our justice system," Schaefer said. "Adam did nothing wrong other than exercise his right to ask why he was being detained.
"Initially, officers claimed he was being arrested for assault and then shifted to public intoxication -- which, in itself, is not a crime in many jurisdictions, unless it leads to dangerous behavior -- and finally settled on disorderly conduct, simply for asking why he was being detained."
