On Tuesday, Bengals cornerback Adam Jones pleaded guilty to obstructing official business in an incident that took place in early January. Meanwhile, the judge dismissed more serious charges against the player formerly known as Pacman, meaning that he will avoid serious jail time.

“I truly apologize for what I did, my actions. I’m trying to get better every day,” Jones said (Twitter link via Terry Helmer of WCPO).
Initially, Jones was charged with three misdemeanors and a felony after a late-night dustup. The cornerback allegedly assaulted a man by “pushing and poking” him in the eye. Then, he refused to stop when ordered to and he refused to enter the cop car as he kicked and head-butted officers. Then, when he arrived at jail, he allegedly spit on a nurse, which landed him the felony charge of “harassment of a member of the medical staff in the justice center with a bodily substance.” Despite all of that, Jones was sentenced only to time served, which amounted to two days in jail.
Jones is pretty much in the clear when it comes to legal ramifications, but it seems likely that he will face discipline from the league office. Bengals GM Mike Brown indicated back in March that the team will stand by the embattled veteran.
I wouldn’t tolerate this guy as a teammate. Some one like AJ Green needs to stand up, be a leader, and demand the owner to rid the roster of low character guys.
Their locker room would be empty
lol not totally. But they would have a few holes to fill.
You’re talking about the Bengals though..they stockpile “low character guys”..they literally just drafted Joe Mixon.
True. That’s another black eye for that franchise. They’re almost like the old Raiders. Except they don’t win.
This is the Bengals. If they did that they wouldn’t have a roster.
No way. Jones pleaded guilty? Brown must feel stupid now. At least he should.
