Attorneys for Cincinnati Bengals cornerback, Adam Jones, who now is injured and not playing, argued Thursday before Common Pleas Court Judge Ralph "Ted" Winkler that the $250,000 he has been ordered to pay to a New York car company is invalid because Jones never was served with the legal paperwork that proved that judgment was transferred to Hamilton County.
In 2008, Elegante Leasing Co. won a judgment in New York when a judge there ruled Jones defaulted on leases for a 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe and a 2006 Bentley Flying Spur. The New York judge ruled Jones owed the car company $240,925 because he stopped making payments and crashed the Bentley but didn't pay for its repairs.
In September 2005, legal documents show, Jones leased the Bentley for five years for $218,632. Jones made the initial payment of $70,000 and monthly payments of $2,519 through March 2008 but stopped paying after that. He also damaged the car, requiring $58,000 in repairs - money the leasing company said it had to pay to get the Bentley back.
"This judgment has been on for almost a year," Winkler said Thursday, noting that the legal order properly was transferred from New York to Hamilton County. Jones now lives in Columbia Tusculum.
