According to a report from the Eagle Country 99.3 radio station, agents from the Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC) were alerted to a patron who may have been cheating at a table game at the Rising Star Casino, located about 20 miles southwest of Cincinnati, just across the Indiana border. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jones apparently didn\u2019t take kindly to the accusation. <\/span><\/p>\n

“IGC responded to the table games room, and upon arrival, the patron immediately became verbally combative and disorderly with IGC Enforcement Agents,”<\/strong> the IGC said in a release. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The former Cincinnati Bengal and Tennessee Titan has been charged with disorderly conduct, public intoxication, intimidation and resisting arrest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although no gaming-related charges were filed, IGC officials say more charges could be forthcoming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pacman’s Rap Sheet<\/h2>\n

The former All-Pro cornerback has been known for his bad behavior since before he even played his first snap in the league. <\/span><\/p>\n

A few months after being drafted by Tennessee in 2005, he was charged with assault and felony vandalism following an altercation at a Nashville nightclub. Those charges were later dismissed.<\/span><\/p>\n

2006 brought a slew of new charges and accusations, including marijuana possession, throwing a punch at a police officer, and twice spitting in the face of a women — the first incident led to six months probation; the second, a one-game suspension. <\/span><\/p>\n

‘Pacman’ Jones\u2019 most infamous incident came early in 2007, when he \u201cmade it rain\u201d with $1 bills in Las Vegas\u2019 the Minxx Gentlemen\u2019s Club.<\/strong> Shortly after, a brawl broke out in the club and three people were shot, though none were fatal. In the fallout, Jones is hit with three charges and suspended for a year by the NFL. He would eventually plead no contest and be sentenced to one year of probation. <\/span><\/p>\n

The following year, Pacman would again be suspended four games by the NFL for an incident with his own bodyguard, although he would not be charged. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jones would mostly keep his nose clean for several years until an arrest in Cincinnati in 2017 for disorderly conduct and assault, for which he\u2019d receive two days in jail and a one-game suspension. <\/span><\/p>\n

Athletes Behaving Badly<\/h2>\n

While few can boast the lengthy legal history that Jones can, he\u2019s certainly not alone in his bad behavior among pro athletes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
