He is an "upstanding" member of the Nashville community.
He is very rich and he runs very fast.
Just a quick taste of this "quality" citizen of the NFL community ...
10/2003: Jones was sentenced to one year in jail following a bar fight while he was a student at West Virginia University, but the sentence was suspended and he was placed on two years probation. His probation was scheduled to end on Thursday.
4/27/05: Adam "Pacman" Jones was at Club Blaze in Conley, Ga., around 3 a.m. ET on April 27 when officers responded to a fight involving two women. Andrea Akins, a supervisor at the club, told police she was punched in the mouth by a woman who was with Jones. But she later told police the woman "had nothing to do with the altercation," a police report said.
Both women were handcuffed, but were released without any arrests.
7/13/05: The Tennessee Titans' top draft pick, Adam "Pacman" Jones, was arrested Wednesday on charges of assault and felony vandalism stemming from a nightclub altercation. Jones surrendered to Nashville police at Titans headquarters Wednesday morning. Jones was in handcuffs, a white T-shirt and light blue exercise pants when he appeared smiling before a night court commissioner, who set bond at $7,000. The charges included one felony vandalism charge and two misdemeanor counts of assault.
9/5/05: The annual Nashville Sports Council Kickoff Luncheon was held at the Renaissance Hotel. Among the 800 guest was none other than Pacman Jones ... later that evening Jones was counseled for a loud verbal tantrum when he was told to wait in line for his vehicle. He also refused to pay for any valet services used that evening.
10/25/05: In a petition filed by the state, it was alleged that Jones has not made regular and sufficient contact with his probation officer and that he did not report his July arrest in Nashville in a timely fashion.
Judge Robert Stone in Morgantown granted the probation extension of 90 days, though the state requested for it to be extended up to a year.
4/11/06: Nine people were arrested on suspicion of having roles in two major drug rings that trafficked cocaine and marijuana in Sumner and Davidson counties, including a Nashville man with possible ties to Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, authorities said yesterday.
Officers from Davidson and Sumner counties seized 1,653 pounds of marijuana, 128 pounds of cocaine, more than 20 vehicles and $608,000, police said.
4/18/06: Police say Pacman was one of 12 or more people that gathered at a gas station in Nashville when a fight broke out and gunshots were fired.
A surveillance camera shows that Pacman was identified as being in the crowd and he confirmed that fact to police.
8/23/06: Jones was also accused of simple assault by Toya Garth, who said Jones spit in her face. Garth said Jones "got very close to her and spit in her face, and which point she stated she spit back in his face,'' according to statement taken by police.
After Jones was asked to leave, police said he began yelling profanities and was arrested by Officer Matt Baldwin.
"Mr. Jones was given several opportunities to leave, he just wouldn't do it,'' Lt. Alvin Baird said. "As he was leaving he hung out the passenger side of the vehicle and began yelling profanities at the security at Sweetwater Saloon, and he put us in a place where we had to do something. Jones was also said to have bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol.
He was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.
He was also being questioned and is under suspicion involving a shooting over the All Star NBA weekend in Las Vegas. He has hired Ray Lewis' former attorney for his defense.
Middle Tennessee is a very conservative part of the country and I will lay you ten to one odds he will not be a Tennessee Titan next year. Thank God

Randy,
good list of Jones' history. However, to believe that you are not editorializing and being honest, you must do just that.
In the latest incident, Jones was NOT arrested as you say.
Keep your facts straight and your blog will be taken more seriously.
My bad. He is a "person of interest". The reference has been edited.
If your God-given talents land you in professional sports, you should be held to a high standard of honesty and respectability as representatives of your city and sport. You screw up, you are banned from the sport forever. Smack a woman, you're gone. Get caught with drugs, you're out. Act like a spoiled brat with no manners, sayonara. Cheat on your wife and cause a scandal, done.
It is a privilege to be a sports star. Many are truly talented and don't make it because of louts like this that do. Kick him to the curb and ban him from the sport for the rest of his playable life. Maybe that would get some outrageous egos in check. Grow up, people! Grow up and thank God you have been blessed with talent.
