Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones has once again found himself in trouble in the form of an assault charge against a woman after a confrontation outside a bar.
Upon his release, Jones joined ESPN 1530 by phone to tell his side of the story. After the release of the surveillance footage, Jones calls the incident "self explanatory," saying he was struck with a bottle and was merely "defending" himself.
"I didn't draw back and swing and hit her with my right hand," Jones said. "It was just a quick reaction."
Jones didn't go into detail about what the woman said to him, but was adamant that she stuck something in his face.
"I'm not gonna get into each piece by piece," Jones said. "My point was coming on here just to let people know, like, I'm not out acting a fool. I'm not out drinking, getting drunk. All I was doing was protecting myself, man. I wouldn't like to harm no woman, period. I have two beautiful little girls and a wife at home [and] my mother. Most of my family are all women, I don't even had a dad. That's not Adam. That's no part. I'm not into that, and I don't condone that. So I don't want you to try to tweak it and make it sound any other way. All I was doing was protecting myself and trying to clear my space."
