Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam 'Pacman' Jones arrested on assault charge

June 11, 2013 at 6:57AM

CINCINNATI â Court documents show Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has been arrested and jailed on an assault charge after police said he tried to hurt a woman.

A police complaint says Jones is accused of striking the Cincinnati woman shortly before midnight June 5. The police report lists the injury as apparently minor.

Jones was arrested Monday. A message left for his agent hasn't been returned.

Court documents show Jones was released on his own recognizance with his arraignment on the misdemeanor charge scheduled for Tuesday.

It's not the first time Jones has been in trouble.

He pleaded guilty in January 2012 to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. He had been accused of shouting profanities and trying to pull away as police arrested him at a Cincinnati bar months earlier.
