CINCINNATI — Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones has pleaded not guilty to charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in Cincinnati.

Court officials say attorney Edward Perry filed the written plea for Jones on Monday in Hamilton County Municipal Court. The misdemeanor charges stem from Jones’ July 10 arrest in Cincinnati. Jones was not in court Monday.

Court documents accuse the 27-year-old Jones of being disorderly and shouting profanities at a downtown bar and trying to pull away as officers arrested him.

Perry declined to comment to The Associated Press on Monday. Jones denied the allegations to WCPO-TV after leaving jail.

The charges add to a list of off-the-field troubles for Jones. They include at least six arrests and a dozen instances involving police intervention.

The Bengals lead the NFL with 35 arrests since 2000.
