Titans Cornerback Pacman Jones Targeted in Traffic Stop
Adam "Pacman" Jones was pulled over in his lamborghini at a Franklin Mapco on Highway 96 at 8:31pm on June 10th, 2007. The charges? Prior knowledge that he didn't have a driver's license. Williamson County Sheriff's deputy David Hadley had "made claims in the past that he was going to pull over Adam Jones the first time he got occasion to, that's exactly what he had been bragging about around other people in Williamson County."
Though Jones had a valid driver's license from Georgia, he was cited for a 30 day residency violation. The Williamson police became aware that Jones did not have a license because he only presented a Georgia ID card to police when they investigated a robbery at his Franklin home in January.
