Source Claims Incident Involving Pacman Overblown
Posted by mickshot at 10/8/2008 10:34 PM CDT on truebluefanclub.com
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was reportedly involved in an incident with his body guard at Joule Hotel, a Dallas downtown hotel, while attending a Tuesday night party for rapper Ludacris.
Police were called to the scene, but no incident report was filed, according to the Dallas Police Department, and consequently no charges were filed, either, since no individual or management at the hotel wanted to press charges.
A source close to Jones says the incident is being overblown, and that if there was a serious confrontation involving Jones causing police to be called to the scene surely an incident report would have been filed by the police department.
The Dallas Police Department said it needs a complainant to file an offense if an offense had occurred, but evidently after interviewing those involved in the incident there were no charges filed that would have led to an offense report. Evidently this is not the first time Jones has had differences with his body guard, who is charged with making sure Jones doesn’t go places he shouldn’t and keeping him out of confrontations with other people.
The NFL has had no comment on the report, but Jones’ timing was bad since NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was in town on Wednesday and even spoke to the entire Cowboys team following their afternoon practice.
Goodell did answer a question about Jones before news of the Tuesday night incident was reported, saying, “Adam knows how much emphasis I put on making good choices as he goes forward, that he avoids situations where he can reflect poorly on himself or the Cowboys or the NFL.”
Jones was fully reinstated by Goodell just before the start of the 2008 season after being suspended for violation of the league’s newly-instated personal conduct policy in April of 2007. Since being drafted in the first round by the Tennessee Titans in 2005, this is the 13th time Jones has attracted police attention.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took a chance this off-season by trading for the troubled cornerback, giving Tennessee a fourth-round pick and will owe the Titans a sixth-rounder if Jones completes this entire season without being suspended by the NFL. If he does become suspended, the Titans will owe the Cowboys a fifth-round pick back in return.
This incident comes at a bad time since the Cowboys could be without Pro Bowl corner Terence Newman for an extended period of time. Doctors are trying to determine if the strained lower abdominal wall that shelved him for this past game is a sports hernia and in need of surgery. If surgery is necessary, Newman could be out for more than a month.
And it is Pacman Jones who has been and will be starting for the injured Newman.
