http:\/\/cin.ci\/2klvAqL<\/a><\/p>\nAttorneys from Fessler, Schneider & Grimme, LLP, issued the following statement:<\/p>\n
“Adam Jones is deeply embarrassed and remorseful for his conduct and language after being arrested in early January. Mr. Jones has the utmost respect for law-enforcement and the difficulties police encounter on a daily basis. As it relates to the allegations, and upon advice of counsel, Mr. Jones will not be commenting upon legal proceedings at this time. Mr. Jones is committed to the process of counseling and anger management, in order to ensure that such situations never occur in the future. Adam loves Cincinnati and considers it home. He sincerely apologize to the officers, the Cincinnati Bengals organization and all the fans in Cincinnati.”<\/p>\n
The Bengals also issued a statement:<\/p>\n
“We are extremely disappointed with Adam\u2019s behavior. The behavior in the video is not what we expect from our players. The Club is aware that Adam has put forth his own apology, however, we also offer an apology to the public and to our loyal fans.”<\/p>\n
Officials said\u00a0Jones\u00a0was pounding on hotel room doors.\u00a0Hotel security came to investigate, and officials say Jones pushed and poked a hotel security employee in the eye. Cincinnati police were then called. While being arrested, court documents say Jones was \u201chead-butting\u201d and \u201ckicking\u201d at officers, trying to avoid being placed in a police vehicle. He was then taken to the county jail.<\/p>\n
In the video, Cotton tells\u00a0Jones, “You didn’t want to cooperate… That’s how we ended up where we are, now.”<\/p>\n
Jones\u00a0seems to indicate\u00a0that a video will clear him of the charges.<\/p>\n
“It’s all on camera,” Jones says at one point.<\/p>\n
In one exchange, Jones says: “You don’t like me, do you?”<\/p>\n
“I don’t even know you,” Cotton responds.<\/p>\n
“F— you, b—-,” Jones says.<\/p>\n

Adam Jones released from jail<\/p>\n
\u00a0Jones also can be seen at least twice kicking the police vehicle’s door, saying “let’s go.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Moments before being removed\u00a0from the vehicle, Jones tells Cotton that he’d “spit on your a–, if I could.”<\/p>\n
At the jail, officials said Jones was combative\u00a0and had to be placed in “a restraint chair.” Court documents say when a female nurse, following normal protocol, tried to examine Jones, he spit on her.<\/p>\n
Among the multiple charges Jones faces is a felony charge of harassment with a bodily substance. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters has said the case against Jones is on hold until he finds\u00a0out what kind of discipline, if any,\u00a0the NFL imposes. Jones also faces misdemeanor charges of\u00a0assault, disorderly conduct and obstructing police.<\/p>\n
