NFL cornerback Adam “Pacman’ Jones has once again found himself embroiled in legal controversy, as the troubled cornerback is being investigated for his role in a late night brawl with his own bodyguard.
The incident occurred last night (October 8) at the Joule Hotel in Dallas, which was the location of a Ludacris-hosted party to promote the Mark Wahlberg movie Max Payne.
Eyewitnesses report that police were called after an allegedly intoxicated Jones began to have a heated argument with his bodyguard, who was hired by the Dallas Cowboys to keep the newly reinstated cornerback out of trouble.
Jones is then alleged to have threatened the bodyguard and began removing jewelry in preparation for a fight.
By the time police arrived, the brawl had begun taking place in the bathroom, where witnesses reported hearing punches being landed and glass breaking.
A security guard and police officers subsequently pulled the two men apart.
According to the bodyguard, he was simply using the u##### when Jones struck him from behind, prompting the unidentified bodyguard to defend himself.
Immediately after giving a brief statement to police, Jones fled the scene without paying the hotel tab.
Since neither party nor the hotel filed a complaint, Dallas police Lieutenant Anthony William explained that no arrests could have been made despite the property damage.
This past August, Adam “Pacman” Jones was reinstated from his April 2007 suspension by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodellin.
As of last year, Jones has been arrested six times; most notably following a Las Vegas shooting that paralyzed one individual and left three wounded.
At press time, the Cowboys organization and the NFL have not commented on whether Jones will face any disciplinary action.
