FRISCO – It was 17 years ago that Pacman Jones wowed head coach Wade Phillips and\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0fans at a training camp practice by fielding, catching and holding six punted footballs.<\/p>\n

These days, Pacman just wants things to drop.<\/p>\n

Jones, who played just one failed season with the\u00a0Cowboys\u00a0in 2008,\u00a0pleaded not guilty this week to multiple charges following his arrest last weekend in\u00a0Cincinnati. The 41-year-old was\u00a0arrested by Covington Police and charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place, disorderly conduct and assault of a police officer or a probation officer.<\/p>\n

Jones posted a $10,000 bond and was released. His attorney, Pete Schaefer, is accusing the police and media of embellishing the facts of the case.<\/p>\n

“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. Adam, like every American, is innocent until proven guilty. Yet once again, his past is being weaponized against him in the court of public opinion, while the officers involved face no scrutiny for their conduct.”<\/p>\n

The arrest is Jones’ fourth since 2021, and he has been booked for a public intoxication charge three consecutive years. Last year he was arrested by Arlington police for assaulting an officer after the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight at AT&T Stadium.<\/p>\n

He was the No. 6 overall\u00a0pick in the 2005\u00a0NFL draft and spent 12 seasons in the league. He was an All-Pro selection as a kick returner in 2014 and made the Pro Bowl in 2015 as a cornerback.<\/p>\n

His season with the Cowboys was marred by a fight at a Dallas hotel and lackluster play on the field, which helped lead to a disappointing 9-7 record and missing the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Brought in by Jerry Jones as a potential “missing link” to a talented team fresh off a 13-3 season, Pacman \u2014 who was suspended for the entire 2007 season \u2014 played in only nine games without an interception and averaged only 4.5 yards on 21 punt returns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
