Pacman Jones Joins Dallas’ Wild Cowboys

The Tennessee Titans have agreed to trade troubled defensive back Adam “Pacman” Jones to the Dallas Cowboys, adding one more shady character to America's Team. Team owner Jerry Jones is hoping that he won't make it rain court documents and only assault opposing players.

Jones, who has been arrested six times since he was drafted in 2005 (and involved in several more incidents where police were called), follows in the footsteps of Tank Johnson, who joined the 'Boys in 2007 after serving time for weapons charges. But they are only the latest Cowboys with criminal histories. After the jump, read about the history of Dallas miscreants who ran afoul of the law, either while a Cowboy or afterwards.

Nate Newton, G
2001: Arrested with 213 pounds of marijuana in his car, and again with 175 pounds only five weeks later. Now that's a weight-training program.

Michael Irvin, WR
1996: Arrested for cocaine possession. He was said to have celebrating his 30th birthday by sniffing blow off a stripper's tit. Even off the field, Irvin wasn't outside the lines.

Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson, LB
1983: Arrested for smoking crack with and sexually assaulting two teenage girls, one of whom was reportedly paraplegic. Maybe it was medicinal crack?

Rafael Septien, K
1987: Plead guilty to a count of “indecency with a child” after being accused of assaulting a 10-year-old girl. Nothing “upright” about this kicker.

Dwayne Goodrich, DB
2003: Arrested and imprisoned for vehicular manslaughter after he struck and killed two men who were attempting to rescue someone from a burning car. This, kids, is why the speed limit is not 110mph.

Larry Bethea, DL
1987: Before he was identified as a suspect in two armed robberies and committed suicide, he was convicted of stealing $64,000'from his mom. Maybe she'd overcharged him rent on her womb?

Harvey Martin, DE
1996: Arrested and charged with beating his girlfriend. In his defense, he'd been using a lot of cocaine.

Robert “Bullet Bob” Hayes, WR
1978: Convicted of drug trafficking after selling to an undercover officer. It's still unclear why the onetime Olympian considered to be the “world's fastest man” didn't run.

Lance Rentzel, WR
1970: Arrested for exposing himself to a 10-year-old girl. At least the pervert didn't score a touchdown.

Barry Switzer, Head Coach
1997: Charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon after he brought a loaded revolver in his carry-on baggage at an airport. There's nothing friendly about the skies he flies.
