Pacman Jones Gets Five Years of Probation in Officer Assault Case

Prosecutors had asked for 18 months in jail.

Overview

  • Adam “Pacman” Jones, sentenced Tuesday by Judge Patricia Summe in Kenton County, received five years of probation in his officer assault case.
  • He previously pleaded guilty to six counts that included third- and fourth-degree assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and two menacing charges.
  • Police say the case began June 7, 2025, after a disturbance at a Covington bar led to his arrest, and body-camera video shows him elbowing an officer and knocking off the camera.
  • The judge ordered in-person apologies to the officer and a bar employee, community service, therapy, and behavioral and parenting courses, and she directed him to return with a plan to meet those terms.
  • The outcome follows a series of prior incidents, including a 2023 guilty plea for unruly conduct at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport and an earlier case that landed him in the Hamilton County Justice Center.
