Former NFL cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has had his fair share of encounters with the law. Jones is in trouble again and was sentenced to 180 days in jail on Thursday after being convicted of assault.

TMZ Sports reports that Jones, 38, had 150 of his days suspended. If Jones shows good behavior, he will have to serve only 30 days. Jones was sentenced to nine months of probation and will begin his sentence on Nov. 29.
