Jerry Jones: Pacman Has Entered Alcohol Treatment

NEW YORK (AP) – Suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones has entered an alcohol treatment center.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says the player checked into a facility “in another part of the country.” The treatment plan is overseen by the NFL.

Adam Jones was suspended for at least four games by the league last Tuesday. He had been involved in an alcohol-related scuffle with one of his bodyguards at a private party in Dallas. That came only six weeks after he was reinstated from a 17-month suspension because of repeated legal troubles.

Jerry Jones spoke Monday after a news conference about a company the Cowboys are starting with the New York Yankees to handle concessions and merchandise sales at their new stadiums.
