How the mighty have fallen: former NFL great Pacman Jones has been arrested in a casino in Indiana, and details of his booking have been released.
According to NBC Sports, Jones was jailed as of about 3:00 A.M. local time. The arrest, which took place at the Rising Sun Casino in Indiana, was thanks to a so-called out of county warrant. It's not clear what the circumstances of the out of county warrant entailed, or how the police came upon him in the early hours of the morning.
The 35-year-old Jones has been a free agent for a while now, and played last season with the Broncos. He had previously played for the Bengals, Cowboys, and Titans.
While universally considered a great player, Pacman Jones is also considered the so-called “poster boy” for bad behavior. His troubled history caused him to be subjected to multiple suspensions and even got him benched. For a time, he spent more time on the bench than on the field.
In the early 2000's, Roger Goodell began cracking down on football players' off-field bad behavior, and Jones was one of the first to go under the proverbial bus. He missed the entirety of the 2007 season and most of the 2008 season thanks to his connection to a 2007 shooting in a Las Vegas strip club.
Two men were injured in the shooting.
Pacman Jones pleaded no contest to one charge of conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, and was later ordered to pay a total of $12.3 million to the two men.
