Days after he was arrested following a dispute with a Cincinnati police officer during a traffic stop, Adam "Pacman" Jones was passing out $100 bills to homeless people across town earlier this week.
"I just give (sic) 15 homeless people a $100, next I'm pay for 15 mothers bills that's in need," TMZ reports he tweeted. "That's what I'm doing for birthday CauseI'mblessed."
Good deed that it was, Jones was nonetheless heavily criticized by critics who point out he still owes some $11 million to victims of a 2007 strip club shooting that left two men wounded, one of them paralyzed from the waist down. The tragic struggle broke out after Jones "made it rain" at the club and someone in his entourage fired shots that ultimately struck the two injured bouncers.
TMZ adds family members for the paralyzed man had gone on record in stating that the payout would be used to upgrade medical equipment for the victim.
On the night of his most recent arrest, Jones was charged with making offensive comments to an officer after his car was pulled over for doing 60 miles per hour in a 45 MPH zone. The driver of the vehicle was cited for drunken driving, while Jones received a citation for disorderly conduct. Both parties were released and have hearings on Friday.
Jones has been dogged for years by legal issues, including the 2007 strip club that resulted in the bouncer shooting and his yearlong suspension from the NFL.
In 2011, he was arrested for disorderly conduct, and this past June he was accused of hitting a woman in a nightclub. In the latter incident Jones has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.
