He reportedly did not speak at the arraignment — his lawyer, Timothy Schneider, did the talking for him — though after the proceedings, he did tell one media member his attorney was the best “in the world.”
Jones is currently facing three charges — one count of assaulting a police officer, one count of public intoxication and one count of disorderly conduct — after authorities say he was causing a disturbance outside a Covington bar on June 7.
Cops claim Jones exhibited signs of intoxication and was “screaming obscenities” at officers. Police threw him in cuffs and took him to a nearby jail — and they allege while he was there, he intentionally elbowed an officer in the face.
A rep for Jones denied the allegations this week … saying in a statement, “Adam did nothing wrong other than exercise his right to ask why he was being detained.”
Jones is due back in court in early July.
