Ex-NFL Star Pacman Jones Detained in Handcuffs by Police After Tyson-Paul Fight

Former NFL cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was arrested early Saturday morning in Arlington, Texas, where the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight took place at AT&T Stadium.

Video from TMZ Sports showed police taking a handcuffed Jones away and out of the Loews Arlington Hotel.

Authorities told TMZ Sports that Jones was “arrested and booked for alleged public intoxication, resisting arrest, evading arrest and assault on a police officer.”

Per WKRC, bail was initially set at $319. However, that number could potentially be increased by a judge following a court appearance.

A representative for Jones told TMZ Sports his client “adamantly denies the allegations and looks forward to explaining the truth when the time comes.

“Like thousands of other people in Dallas last night, Pac was in town for the fight and was enjoying himself, spending time with the fans,” the representative added.

“Pacman was returning to his hotel to wind down for the evening. He was not looking for trouble.”

Jones has a lengthy history of legal and off-field trouble. He was suspended for the entire 2007 NFL season for “conduct detrimental to the league.” According to ESPN, at the time there were “10 incidents where he was interviewed by police.”

Jones most recently pled guilty to a disorderly conduct charge (a class B misdemeanor) following an incident on an airplane at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport before takeoff for Newark, New Jersey in Sept. 2023, per Fletcher Keel of WLWT 5. He was also charged with alcohol intoxication and making a terroristic threat, but both of them were dismissed.

The 41-year-old Jones, a former West Virginia University standout, played in the NFL from 2005-2006 and 2008-2018 for the Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos.
