On Friday afternoon, Craig told us that Adam Jones was detained at the Canadian border. Well, according to what Jones wrote on his Twitter page on Friday night, it was all a case of mistaken identity.
Via Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun:
“Basically, what happened, was they had the wrong person,” said Jones,
who broke the news on his Twitter
page. “They thought I was somebody else. It all got situated but it
took its time to get situated. It’s frustrating for me. I shouldn’t have
put it out how I put it out. Now, we can all just get on with it. …
Everything’s taken care of on my end.”
And just who may he have been mistaken with? According to Zrebiec, Jones’ mother believes that it is Adam “Pacman” Jones, the newly-signed Cincinnati Bengal. Jones couldn’t confirm his mother’s suspicions, but obviously “Pacman” has quite the rap sheet. Still, the incident shouldn’t instill much confidence in athletes — or anyone, really — when passing through the border.
