He wrote on Twitter: "Just got arrested for protecting myself, I will not let this break me or change what I have work so hard for. . . ."
"If it was anybody other than Adam Jones, they would have investigated it," His agent, Peter Schaffer said of the police. "If it was anybody other than Adam Jones, they wouldn't have arrested him."
