Adam 'Pacman' Jones Arrested Covington Amid Agent Claims Overzealous Policing

Adam 'Pacman' Jones, a former NFL cornerback, was arrested early Saturday morning in Covington, Kentucky, and charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and assaulting a police officer. Video footage released by Jones shows his interaction with police, where he questions why he is being detained and alleges excessive force by officers. His agent, Peter Schaffer, condemned the arrest as an example of "overzealous policing" and systemic issues within the justice system, highlighting that Jones' only purported wrongdoing was asking why he was detained. Schaffer criticized the officers for shifting charges from assault to public intoxication and then to disorderly conduct, calling this pattern an abuse of authority and an infringement on constitutional rights. The agent also pointed out that Jones’ past is being weaponized against him while the officers involved face no scrutiny, and called for a full and transparent review of the arrest to ensure accountability. Jones posted a $10,000 bond and was released the same morning, maintaining his innocence.
