Pacman Jones bites Police officer, faces felony charges

Terry McCormick of the Nashville City Paper reports that Titans cornerback Rain Man Jones bit a police officer as part of the incident that resulted in felony obstruction charges being filed against him in early 2006.

"Adam Jones would not hold his hands together so the officer could put handcuffs on him to arrest him, and a fight ensued," said a representative of the district attorney's office in Fayette County, Georgia. "That's when he bit the officer on the thumb."

The bite caused the crime to increase from a misdemeanor to a felony.

McCormick also reports that Jones did not disclose the arrest to the team. As we explained on Thursday, failure to report an arrest is in and of itself a violation of the Personal Conduct Policy.

McCormick also reports that Jones' mother pleaded guilty to marijuana possession in a March 2006 incident at Jones' home in Fairburn, Georgia. Somehow, charges against Jones were dropped.

"There was marijuana all over the basement, and it was his house," said Mike Pruitt of the Fayette County Drug Task Force. "Under constructive possession, that should have been enough for a jury to decide this case."

Does anyone out there think that Jones will ever play pro football again? We sure don't.

Seperate incident from the strip club altercation....

I think Pacman is done in the NFL to be honest with you

if thats really how you look at the world, you are a joke of a human being

Severe Punishment · 03-02-2007, 03:05 AM

Seriously, why is it so hard for these athletes to just play ball ?
Why on earth do they feel it neccesary to go to strip clubs in the first place ?
You mean to tell me that a young millionaire has to pay for it to see it ??? wow, how sad.

Wait, what?

TheChampIsHere · 03-02-2007, 03:33 AM

not everyone is content living their life they way you live yours or think they should live theirs. Who are you to be judging these guys who you dont even know and calling them things like "a joke of a human being"? Im not here to back up Pac-man and say that he hasn't done anything wrong but Im also not gonna sit here and cast down judgment on him and pretend to be any better of a man than him and I dont like to sit here and listen to you guys do it.

Shiver · 03-02-2007, 03:40 AM

He is getting Millions of dollars to play football for a living. It's what all of us fantasize about. Yet he is flushing it all down the drain due to his stupidity. I feel no remorse for him. Some people, unfortunately, screw up their lives. It's sad, but it's the reality of the situation. In this case he has had more of an opportunity than most people will even come close to having. Yet he's on the verge of blowing it. He has gotten more chances than any of us would receive due to his status. According to the Tennessean, he's been involved in ten off the field altercations. That is unfathomable to me, yet he keeps getting 'another shot' to straighten up and fly right. Enough is enough. Why should I sympathize with this guy? If he cannot behave like a decent member of society, he shouldn't be playing football. I believe prisons are designed for this kind of symptomatic, flagrant, unacceptable behavioral issues.

TheChampIsHere · 03-02-2007, 03:57 AM

not saying you need to have compassion for him, but dont sit there and judge him from your ivory tower.

and all I can say is lol at you saying he belongs in prison b/c he gets in some altercations at clubs which he wasn't even the one really being violent in and gets caught with marijuana. And Ill leave the decision of whether or not he should have the privledge of playing football to his employer. Its just crazy how you dont even believe in making an attempt to understand people. Just round em up and throw em in prison, right?

If it was me in the NFL I'd be flying straight and make sacrifices. But thats me. Jones is a different person with different values, different friends, different family, different background. It took him a lot of hard-work and dedication to become the football player he is, no one gave him the opportunity to be an NFL player. He earned that. Its his life and hes obviously making some mistakes but Im not gonna sit here and judge him and say whether he should be cut. The Titans actually know this young man and will make an informed decision. If Pac-Man has got his employer fed up with behavior to the point he isnt playing anymore, thats the hole he dug himself. But once again, regardless of how these things turn out, Im not gonna sit here and judge him.

RedAttack · 03-02-2007, 04:17 AM

Well, I'm perfectly content to sit in my ivory tower and call him an idiot.

You can't seriously say that you can't judge people and their actions because EVERYONE does it. That is part of human nature and human psychology.

Adam Jones puts himself in these postions and deserves everything coming to him. What a moron to blow a oppourtunity like pro football.

EdReedUnstoppable · 03-02-2007, 05:05 AM

What a friggin criminal, lock his ass up and throw away the key, he obviously is nothing but trouble.

Shane P. Hallam · 03-02-2007, 05:12 AM

Don't you think people are a bit too quick to judge? It's no lie that a guy involved in 10 off the field things has some issues, but let's remember Michael Vick and his water bottle. People bashed him for it, and he got caught with a stigma, but it was found out to be nothing. Wait for a conviction, then kick him out.

what the HELL are you talking about?

i guess i shouldn't judge anyone, because i dont' understand them. i mean, tim mcveigh? probably a pretty good guy who meant well and it really wasn't up to me whether he went to prison or not, so i should just accept him and be compassionate that he must have gone through a lot of tough &*%@#% in his life.

if all of these rumors are true (and come on JBond. did vick have 353425 stories about DIFFERENT misdeeds? do you honestly say the same thing every time a bengals thread pops up anymore?), the man is completely worthless and will have demonstrated that he has zero place whatsoever in society.

(yes, i can already see the brain-dead response: will mcveigh and pacman are like, totally different!!!?!!?!?!??? you can't, like, compare them!!!?!?!!!??? r u stoopid!!!!???!?!?!??? simply: by your example, no, they're not. don't blame me because your attempt to explain away the things he's done [again, i've pre-qualified all of this with if true] was completely worthless and poorly thought out).

njx9 · 03-02-2007, 08:42 AM

i almost missed the best part: what ivory tower do you think i'm judging him from? what an utterly moronic comment to make. i'm actually angry that i wasted the time on any response after reading that garbage line.

JoeMontainya · 03-02-2007, 08:42 AM

If he wasnt such a druggie think how good he could have been?

Also its crazy how athletes can do drugs, get tested and still not show up positive, tells you the system is flawed.

WinslowBodden · 03-02-2007, 08:52 AM

lol pacman jones is a jerk and a waste i hope he gets thrown out of the NFL.

ricky bobby · 03-02-2007, 09:02 AM

PacMan Jones getting in trouble isn't even news anymore. He's a complete idiot and let's just leave it at that.

Boston · 03-02-2007, 09:08 AM

What a ******* idiot.

That is totally absurd. Why even have laws if you can't judge anyone? There is no question as to the things he's done being against the law. As for his personal situation, if he was raised in this country he should understand that it's wrong to bite a friggin police officer. I get what you're saying, I know you're trying to be open minded, but the point is we have a legal system for a reason. Some stuff you can't do. Why is this guy and idiot for breaking the law? Because he could have everything he wants without breaking the law. He makes millions upon millions of dollars. What you're saying is like saying child molesters deserve our sympathy because they were abused as children. That's bullsh*t. You still have a choice.
