CINCINNATI (AP) - Cincinnati’s police chief is apologizing to Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones, who was questioned by officers on Sunday.
Chief Tom Streicher (STRY’-kur) said at a news conference Monday that the police department made a mistake and that Jones did nothing wrong. The chief calls the episode unfortunate.
Police said Jones was questioned after he drove his vehicle over a downtown curb to avoid another vehicle or pedestrian in his way. He was released without a citation or charges.
Witnesses took cell phone photos and shared them on social media sites with captions claiming _ incorrectly _ that Jones had been arrested. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said Monday that Jones was disappointed with the way the matter had been portrayed.
