Adam Jones has had legal problems in the past
Jones has unfortunately run into legal problems before. He was arrested just last year in Texas following an incident where he allegedly hit a police officer, per NBC News in Dallas.
He was suspended by the NFL for the entire 2007 season, following a melee that occurred at a strip club.
At the time, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said that Jones had violated the league's policy on personal conduct.
"Your conduct has brought embarrassment and ridicule upon yourself, your club, and the NFL, and has damaged the reputation of players throughout the league. You have put in jeopardy an otherwise promising NFL career, and have risked both your own safety and the safety of others through your off-field actions," Goodell wrote in a letter to Jones following that incident, per ESPN. "In each of these respects, you have engaged in conduct detrimental to the NFL and failed to live up to the standards expected of NFL players. Taken as a whole, this conduct warrants significant sanction."
