Bengals cornerback Adam Jones is in the Hamilton County Jail on charges of misdemeanor assault, disorderly conduct, obstructing official business and felony harassment with a bodily substance, Cincinnati police said. Jones was jailed at 12:25 a.m. Tuesday after his arrest at the Millennium Hotel on West Fifth Street in Cincinnati. His bond was set Tuesday at $37,500. A public defender was appointed to represent Jones during his arraignment. She said he plans to fight the charges against him. “This stems from a misdemeanor assault allegation that Mr. Jones vehemently denies,” said attorney Lauren Staley. She said Jones stayed on the scene to explain the situation to police. Officials said he will spend Tuesday night in jail and get a court-ordered DNA test Wednesday morning. Police said Jones, 33, yelled and banged on a glass door at the hotel and cursed at, pushed and poked a security guard in the eye. He also kicked the arresting officer, police said. Read the arrest report. Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office officials said Jones was combative throughout the booking process, eventually requiring authorities to secure him in a restraint chair. Officials said a nurse, a member of the Sheriff's Office medical staff, attempted to get vital statistics from Jones as part of normal protocol. Jones spit on the nurse, officials said, prompting an additional felony charge of harassment with a bodily substance. “Whether someone is a professional athlete, a blue-collar worker or homeless, our staff will treat them with respect and we expect the same,” Sheriff Jim Neil said. “Regardless who they are, if they endanger my deputies, our medical staff or themselves, we will take action." The Bengals issued a short statement in response to the arrest: "We’re aware of it, of course, and are working to gather full information, but policy is that it’s not appropriate for the club to comment on unresolved legal matters."

He made headlines again in 2015 when he was asked to leave the Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, after police said he was acting "disorderly." He was never charged. Jones was accused of starting a brawl at a Las Vegas strip club in 2007 by throwing money at dancers. Two people were shot in the brawl, and though Jones was not the accused gunman, the victims successfully sued him for $12.5 million for his role in the fracas. Jones was drafted into the NFL in 2005 by the Titans and has been with the Cincinnati Bengals since 2010.
