Breaking: NFL Sees 13-Year Veteran Assault Police Officer, Detained On Scene (Watch)
When Pacman Jones was arrested for public intoxication earlier this month, he unleashed a verbal tirade against cops and threw elbows at one. TMZ Sports just obtained video of his wild behavior:
Cops initially stopped the former NFL star in Covington, Ky. on June 7 to question him about a dispute at a nearby bar … and almost immediately, Jones became combative.
You can see in the body camera footage, he raised his voice and attempted to walk away … but he was able to briefly calm down to explain his side of the situation to officers.
He stated he and his group had gotten into a spat with a bar worker … and then once he finished saying his piece, he tried to walk away again.
That’s when Jones was placed in cuffs.
While in custody, Jones cussed endlessly … insisting he did nothing wrong. He questioned officers over and over again about why they were talking to him — and despite being told it was because they were conducting an investigation, he still appeared to be uncooperative. Jones was eventually thrown into a squad car for public intoxication and disorderly conduct — and throughout his ride to jail, he sounded off on the officer. He repeatedly told the man to “shut the f*** up” and “suck my d***.” He also called the cop “stupid” and a “coward.” The insults flew for roughly 30 minutes. At the jail, Jones seemed even more agitated … and you can see in the video, he did appear to try to hit a cop in the face with several purposeful elbows. One apparently landed flush on the cop’s mouth, as the officer can be heard in the video noting, “my lip is bleeding.” Jones was ultimately hit with one count of assaulting a police officer, one count of public intoxication and one count of disorderly conduct for his actions. He pleaded not guilty to the charges in court on June 11.
A rep for Jones said in a statement to TMZ Sports after the arrest, “Adam did nothing wrong other than exercise his right to ask why he was being detained.” Neither Jones nor his reps have issued a public comment on the newly released police video.
