Jones is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Fayetteville, Ga., for obstructing police during an incident that occurred last February.
As news surfaced about that incident, it was also confirmed Jones was arrested and charges with marijuana possession in March 2006 in the same county, but those charges were dismissed. Fayetteville is located roughly 20 miles south of Atlanta.
Steve Heaton, chief of the Fayetteville Police Department, said “One of our officers was involved in a traffic stop with him, and after Pacman and others ran into a home, there was a physical altercation between him and the officer and he was involved in that. He was arrested for that," Heaton said. “I think any time we have somebody who fights with an officer it is a pretty serious matter.’’
Counting these two incidents, Jones has been involved in at least 10 off-the-field incidents since being drafted by the Titans in the first round of the 2005 draft. The most serious is still being investigated, as Jones was at the scene of a triple shooting in Las Vegas on Feb. 19 and has been accused of being a friend of the shooter by the co-owner of the strip club where the incident occurred.
In addition to his home in Nashville, Jones also has a home in Fayetteville, where these two incidents took place.
Mike Pruitt of the Fayette County Drug Task Force said tonight he was unaware the marijuana charges against Jones had been dismissed. Pruitt said a home belonging to Jones was searched last March and marijuana was found in two rooms after executing a search warrant.
Pruitt said Jones showed up in a sports car as officers arrived at the home, and while he gave officers no problem leading up to his arrest, he smelled marijuana in the car.
“I asked him why his (Corvette) smelled so bad and he said, “We were smoking it on the way down here from Nashville,’’ Pruitt said. “Personally, I think the NFL needs to change its drug policy because (players) basically know they are going to get drug tested.
“I asked him, 'Why do you want to throw your career away for a bunch of marijuana junk?' He said, 'I know when I am going to get drug tested, so I quit doing it.’ It’s just crazy.’’
According to Heaton, the obstruction charge that remains active transpired when Jones and friends were sitting in a car outside a house around 1 a.m., and when police approached the car and asked them a verbal confrontation ensued. The area had been under police surveillance because of a number of break-ins in the area, but Jones was not suspected of being involved in that type of activity, Heaton said.
When a person with Jones was later searched at the jail, marijuana was discovered.
“The verbal altercation led to a physical confrontation and they ran into a home they were sitting outside of. We had to run in and get them and there was a physical confrontation with Pacman and he was charged with the felony obstruction,’’ Heaton said. “We had to get physical with him and he got physical with us.

"Mr. Jones was given several opportunities to leave, he just wouldn't do it,'' Lt. Alvin Baird said.

Jones was also said to have bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol.
He was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.
