CINCINNATI — The Bengals took the unusual step of apologizing on Monday night for the conduct of cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones that was recorded in a police video released to the media.

Jones was arrested after an altercation at a downtown hotel the day after Cincinnati’s season ended with a 6-9-1 record. The 33-year-old cornerback was charged for the confrontation and for allegedly spitting on a nurse as he was processed at the county jail. Jones has said he’ll be exonerated of the charges.

Cincinnati police released a video on Monday showing Jones’ behavior in the back seat of a police car as he was taken to the jail. Jones asks what charges he’s facing and when he’s told two misdemeanors, he uses a stream of profanity toward the police officers.

At one point, Jones tells one of the offers that “I hope you die tomorrow.”

Jones’ language is so vulgar in the video that the Bengals issued an apology — a rare move for the team that usually avoids comment while a player’s case goes through the court system.

“We are extremely disappointed with Adam’s behavior,” the team said. “The behavior in the video is not what we expect from our players. The club is aware that Adam has put forth his own apology. However, we also offer an apology to the public and to our loyal fans.”

The NFL could suspend Jones for the start of next season under its player conduct policy.

His case took an unexpected turn when Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said that he was waiting to see how the NFL reacted to Jones’ arrest before deciding how to proceed. As a result, Jones’ case was continued until Feb. 10. The police video released on Monday could factor into Deters’ decision about whether to prosecute Jones.

In addition to misdemeanor charges over the altercation at the hotel, Jones faces charges that he head-butted police and spit on a nurse at the jail after his arrest. The sheriff’s office said Jones was so combative that he had to be placed in a restraint chair.
