Bengals' Pacman Jones jailed over Cincinnati confrontation (Yahoo Sports)

FILE - In this Sept. 21, 2014, file photo, Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Adam Jones warms up prior to the Bengals' NFL football game against the Tennessee Titans in Cincinnati. The Nevada Supreme Court says Jones has to pay more than $12.4 million in damages in a shooting that wounded two Las Vegas strip club doormen nearly eight years ago, including one who was paralyzed from the waist down. Jones wasn't the gunman. But the unanimous state high court ruling, issued Thursday, Jan. 8, 2015, upheld a jury's finding that he instigated the violence and was responsible to pay some $11.2 million to Tommy Urbanski and his ex-wife, Kathy, and $1.3 million to Urbanski's former co-worker Aaron Cudworth.

Bengals cornerback Adam ”Pacman” Jones was jailed early Tuesday, and faced assault, disorderly conduct and other charges including that he spit on a nurse after being arrested in Cincinnati’s downtown entertainment district. Court records show Jones, who has a history of trouble with the law during his NFL career, is accused of pushing and poking someone in the eye, then struggling with officers by head-butting, kicking and refusing to get into the police car. No attorney was listed for him in court records.
