CINCINNATI (AP) Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam ”Pacman” Jones faces three misdemeanor charges, including assault, but no longer is charged with a felony.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters (DEE’-turs) announced Wednesday that a felony charge of harassment with a bodily substance was dismissed at the prosecuting attorney’s request.
Deters said the misdemeanors also include disorderly conduct and obstructing official business.
The 33-year-old veteran whose career has been marked by off-the-field legal issues was jailed Jan. 3 after a confrontation with a hotel security employee was followed by a struggle with Cincinnati police and a sheriff’s office report Jones spit on a nurse’s hand.
Deters says the criminal charge won’t be pursued, given that the nurse has been pursuing a possible civil remedy.
A Bengals spokesman said the team has no comment.
