Adam Jones, a professional football player, was arrested on January 2nd, 2017. Security guards summoned the Cincinnati Police Department to the Millennium Hotel in downtown Cincinnati, reporting that Mr. Jones had poked a security guard in the eye after being questioned for belligerent behavior.

Upon reporting, Cincinnati Police Department arrested Mr. Jones. According to unnamed witnesses (and now unavailable sources), Mr. Jones fought with and kicked officers.

During the trip to the Hamilton County Justice Center, Dash Cam video reveals Mr. Jones in a tirade of expletives and, most importantly, threats against the officer's life.

During the intake procedure, Mr. Jones allegedly spit on a nurse administering a blood test to Mr. Jones.

No charges have been filed by Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters. He has opted to allow the National Football Association to deliver its private verdict before charging the alleged crimes under the Ohio Revised Code. This is unprecedented, and alarming.

We move that Prosecutor Deters immediately file all appropriate charges versus Mr. Jones. Respect for the law should be independent of private or professional status.
