Adam Jones Has One Felony Charge Dropped, Chalked Up To Being ‘Idiot’

It took a couple of months, but it least appears as though there is finally a beginning to the end of a resolution to the legal and professional consequences of Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones’ behavior early this past winter.

Joe Deters, the Hamilton County prosecutor on Jones’ case, yesterday announced that he was dropping the felony charge against him after he was accused of spitting on a nurse following his arrest, for which he is still facing multiple charges.

According to Jay Morrison via Twitter, Deters called the felony a “ticky-tack king of charge” and that Jones was spitting out chewing tobacco when it got on the nurse’s hand.
