CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati prosecutor Joe Deters will not pursue a felony charge of harassment with a bodily substance against Bengals cornerback Adam Jones, he announced Wednesday.
Jones, 33, was arrested Jan. 3 in Cincinnati for allegedly pushing a security guard and poking him in the eye and then refusing to comply with law enforcement officers. He then spit on the hand of a nurse while he was being booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center.
"It was a pretty ... ticky tack kind of charge," Deters said Wednesday on the Bill Cunningham Show on 700 WLW in Cincinnati.
