Adam 'Pacman' Jones Arrested....... Accidentally
Following The Cincinatti Bengals loss to The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones was involved in an incident which ended with him in handcuffs. According to a witness, Jones swerved onto a sidewalk near Great American Ball Park to avoid a car from hitting his, and struck a pedestrian. Although Jones has had a troubled past with the law, it appears the police made a mistake in detaining Jones. Jones was held for over 45 minutes before police realized they had mad an error and arrested the wrong Adam Jones. Apparently, the police mixed "Pacman" up with another Adam Jones who had outstanding warrants.
So should "Pacman" retaliate against police and pursue false arrest and unlawful imprisonment claims against Cincinatti PD? Jones's agent has already released a statement which clearly expresses both his and Jones' displeasure with the way Jones was treated. But with all the work "Pacman" has done to overcome his image issues, he may be better off staying out of the public eye and letting this one go.
Stay tuned to see if "Pacman" will "make it rain".......
