Adam “Pacman” Jones pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to the criminal charges he was hit with following his arrest last weekend.

The former NFL star showed up to a Kenton County, KY courthouse in a black shirt and black shorts to issue the pleas.

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.”

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.”

As protests against ICE raids have continued in Los Angeles this week — sometimes violently — one particular cop was singled out for ridicule as he stood in riot gear with his squad on the street.

Viral video circulating online shows the moment two protesters in the downtown crowd appear to recognize an LAPD officer as a frequent customer at CAVA, a Mediterranean-style fast-casual restaurant chain, where they claim to work.

The two young adults immediately start hazing the cop with hateful comments, who stands stoically … as the young lady lists the details of the guy’s counter order, and says he’s always asking for a discount.

A CAVA spokesperson tells TMZ they are aware of the video circulating on social media and are actively investigating the incident.

In a statement, CAVA said … “Hate and threatening language have no place at CAVA and all are welcome at our table. The trust of our guests and the safety of our food are our highest priorities, and any action that compromises them is a clear violation of our values and code of conduct.”
