Veteran NFL defensive back and Atlanta native Adam “Pacman” Jones was arrested early Wednesday at a casino in southeast Indiana, authorities said.
The 35-year-old free agent was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and public intoxication at the Rising Star Casino along the Ohio River, the Indiana Gaming Commission confirmed.
An incident report shows the commission was called to investigate a patron for possible cheating in the casino’s table games room sometime after 3 a.m.
“Upon arrival, (Jones) immediately became verbally combative and disorderly with IGC Enforcement Agents” and casino personnel, the incident report states. “The subject was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct, public intoxication, intimidation and resisting arrest.”
He was booked into the Dearborn County jail. The agency said its investigation is ongoing and additional charges are possible.
This isn’t Jones’ first run-in with the law.
He was sentenced to a year of probation for his role in a 2007 brawl and shooting inside a Las Vegas strip club that left one employee paralyzed and two others wounded.
Jones, who lives in Cincinnati, was arrested again in early 2017 following a confrontation with a security guard at a nearby hotel, according to media reports. He was accused of spitting on a jail nurse as he was booked.
Last summer, Jones was punched in the face at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport during an altercation with a contract custodian, Atlanta police said.
The Westlake High School graduate was drafted in 2005 out of West Virginia by the Tennessee Titans. He has also played for the Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals and — most recently — Denver Broncos, recording nine tackles and an interception in seven games in 2018.
