Former Cowboys player arrested in Arlington after Paul/Tyson fight
A former Dallas Cowboys cornerback was arrested at a hotel early Saturday in Arlington after the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight, according to online arrest records.
Adam “Pacman” Jones was charged with public intoxication, assaulting a peace officer, and resisting arrest, according to arrest records.
Police responded to Live! by Loews at around 1 a.m. after receiving a report of a fight breaking out in the hotel’s bar area, officials said.
When officers arrived, the fight had been broken up, but Jones continued to approach and yell at the other people involved, police said.
A short time after that, Jones got involved in another fight in the hotel’s bar area, at which point officers attempted to arrest him, according to a statement from Arlington police officials.
During his arrest, Jones struck the arresting officer on the arm and began walking away before being placed in handcuffs, police said.
“Like thousands of other people in Dallas last night, Pac was in town for the fight and was enjoying himself, spending time with the fans,” a representative for Jones told TMZ Sports.
The representative denied the allegations and said Jones “looks forward to explaining the truth when the time comes.”
He was booked into the Arlington city jail at around 3:30 a.m., according to arrest records.
