Last month, Adam "Pacman" Jones was arrested for charges that included public intoxication and disorderly conduct, following an incident inside the Rising Star Casino in Indiana where he was accused of cheating. 

Now cell phone footage has been released of the aftermath of the incident in question, where the arriving officers are seen detaining Jones following accusations that he was adding to his bets after knowing the outcomes of games. The footage was shot by Jones' wife, which shows her husband get verbally aggressive with the officers, despite the fact that he reportedly believes this evidence will exonerate him.

The footage begins with Jones asking them to release the handcuffs while promising not to run off on them. Moments later, his wife is heard saying that they had been with the same dealers all night and spent $20K of their money, as she then threatens to call the police. Naturally, the officers stated that they were the police, to which she replied: "no we're going to call the city police."

Meanwhile, Jones can be seen getting excessively aggravated with the detainment, where at different times he screams at the officers: "y'all n***** some b*****, don't touch me, why are you touching me? F*** you."

From there, his wife can be heard advocating for his freedom of speech, while noting "he didn't put his hands on anybody he can say what he wants." Jones then echoed those sentiments by adding: "freedom of speech! f*** you talking bout b**** a*** n****"

Later on, the officers try to take Pacman to detain him in their back office, as his wife insists that they stay in her eyesight so he's not a victim of police brutality. The video then ends with Jones getting in an officer's face to scream "you a b****," as a response to grabbing his hands while he was already handcuffed. 

Jones was hit with 8 criminal charges from the incident, yet it's been reported that he's pled not guilty and plans on fighting the case.

Adding to a long list of legal trouble throughout his career, Adam "Pacman" Jones has now reportedly been arrested for charges that include public intoxication and disorderly conduct, stemming from an incident inside the Rising Star Casino in Indiana. 

TMZ reports that the 35-year-old free agent was booked into a local jail around 3 AM this morning, where he's still being held based on the latest updates on the story. Although the jail records didn't specify a reason for the arrest, a spokesperson for the Indiana Gaming Commission reportedly told TMZ that officials were called to investigate Jones for possible cheating at a table game. It was then where Jones became verbally combative and disorderly and was placed under arrest. 

It should be noted that this is not the first casino incident for Jones, as he was previously escorted out of the Hollywood Casino in Indiana for similar conduct, though ultimately charges from that incident were never filed. Nonetheless, footage from the prior 2015 altercation shows Jones saying to police: "Where I'm from, if I ain't threatening you, if I ain't do s*** to you, then it ain't disorderly conduct."

Jones last played for the Denver Broncos during the first half of the 2018-19 season, where he was released from the team in November. Prior to that he spent the majority of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he was named to one Pro Bowl and earned one All-Pro First Team honor, yet was also suspended for an entire season for off-the-field conduct during his early years with the Tenessee Titans.
