Adam Jones, the former Cincinnati Bengals player, was arrested at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport on Tuesday. Jones, who played for the Bengals from 2010-2017, was taken into custody after an altercation with a security guard.
The incident occurred when Jones was attempting to board a flight. According to reports, Jones became agitated when he was asked to remove his hat and shoes before going through the security checkpoint. He allegedly refused to comply and pushed the guard.
Jones was arrested and charged with assault, disorderly conduct, and obstructing official business. He was released from jail after posting a $2000 bond.
This is not the first time Jones has been in trouble with the law. In 2017, he was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He was also arrested in 2013 for assault and vandalism.
Jones’ attorney has released a statement saying that Jones was acting in self-defense and that he was the victim of an overzealous security guard. He also said that Jones will plead not guilty to the charges.
The Bengals released a statement saying that they were aware of the incident and that they were monitoring the situation. They also said that they had no further comment at this time.
It remains to be seen what will happen with Jones’ case. However, it is clear that this is not the kind of behavior that is acceptable in today’s society. It is important for everyone to remember that violence is never the answer and that it is always better to remain calm and respectful in any situation.
