Adam "Pacman" Jones is in trouble with the law again.
Jones was arrested on one count of assault for punching a female outside a downtown Cincinnati bar.
Jones' agent Peter Schaffer told USA Today sports that Jones was standing outside a bar after a Reds/Rockies game. He was approached by two women who wanted to take their picture with "Pacman".
Jones refused citing he's a married man and didn't want to see a picture of him and two women pop up on any social media site.
Schaffer said Jones told him he was then hit in the head with a bottle from only a few feet away.
"He turns around and immediately slaps the person. He has no idea what's going on or who threw the bottle," Schaffer said. "His teammates have enough of this and they walk out."
According to Shaffer witnesses corroborate Jones' story.
Jones added his side of the story on his twitter account saying;
"Just got arrested for protecting myself, I will not let this break me or change what I have work so hard for ...."
This appears to be a setback for Jones who has been staying of trouble since his last arrest in July 2011. He had his best season last fall with the Bengals and the team made a commitment to Jones with a three year contract with $1 million guaranteed.
Cincinnati Radio Station ESPN 1530 managed to get security cam video of said incident:
