Pacman Jones arrest
Jones was arrested at the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport on Monday, September 11, 2023.
He was charged with terroristic threats, alcohol intoxication and disorderly conduct.
The incident occurred after he was removed from a plane, and he claims that he was arrested after requesting to change his seat.
This is not the first time Jones is arrested.
On February 27, 2019, he was taken into custody at the Rising Star Casino Resort in Rising Sun, Indiana.
According to reports, Jones was arrested on multiple charges, including disorderly conduct, public intoxication, intimidation and resisting arrest.
The incident reportedly began when he was asked to leave the casino after becoming unruly and causing a disturbance.
Jones allegedly refused to leave and began shouting profanities at casino staff and patrons.
When police arrived on the scene, he continued to be uncooperative and confrontational, and allegedly kicked and head-butted officers as they attempted to take him into custody.
Jones was eventually subdued and taken to the Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center, where he was booked on the aforementioned charges.
Throughout his career, he has been involved in a number of incidents, including altercations with fans, arrests for assault and battery and a suspension from the NFL for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
