Adam 'Pacman' Jones, seen here at Bengals training camp in July 2010, was arrested early Sunday morning.

The 27-year-old Jones was jailed around 3 a.m. Sunday. Cincinnati media outlets reported documents filed in court accuse Jones of being disorderly and shouting profanities in a bar and trying to pull away as officers arrested him.

Jones denied the allegations in an interview with WCPO-TV after leaving jail Sunday.

His career has been marred by off-the-field troubles, including at least six arrests and a dozen instances that involved police intervention.

He signed a two-year deal with Cincinnati in May 2010. He's been recovering from a neck injury last fall that required surgery, but he was expecting to play this year.

A Bengals spokesman said the team had no comment.
