DALLAS, Texas (AFP) — Dallas Cowboys defensive back Adam "Pacman" Jones, reinstated to the National Football League six weeks ago after a series of off-field incidents, is again being investigated by NFL officials.
Jones and his bodyguard were involved in an incident at a hotel near the Cowboys' home stadium on Tuesday night, according to Dallas police, with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporting he attended a party of rap singer Ludacris.
Jones was reinstated by the NFL on August 26, some 16 months after NFL commissioner suspended him for personal conduct violations and four months after he was traded to Dallas from the Tennessee Titans.
While the league is looking into the latest incident, ESPN reported that an unidentified team source confirmed the Cowboys will not punish Jones for his actions involving a bathroom scuffle with his bodyguard, Tommy Jones.
Police were called to the Joule hotel and reported a disturbance with two men fighting in the lobby.
The incident had ended when authorities arrived and Jones said he did not wish to pursue charges against his employer, calling the incident a personal matter.
Jones, 25, has a history of legal incidents, including six arrests, since joining the NFL in 2005. He had been on good behavior since joining the Cowboys and leads the team with 11 deflected passes.
