CINCINNATI (AP) Bengals cornerback Adam ”Pacman” Jones has been suspended for the regular-season opening game after his role in an altercation at a downtown Cincinnati hotel earlier this year.
Jones pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge from the January incident, the latest in a history of off-the-field legal issues for the NFL veteran. The NFL says the suspension was for a violation of its personal conduct policy.
Police said Jones kicked and used head-butting as he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a hotel employee.
Jones can appeal the suspension within three days. Otherwise, he will be eligible to return to the active roster on Sept.
