CINCINNATI - The Hamilton County sheriff's office says Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam ''Pacman'' Jones will remain jailed until a blood test can be performed Wednesday.

A judge earlier Tuesday set a $37,500 total bond on four charges stemming from Jones' arrest at a downtown Cincinnati hotel. He faces three misdemeanor charges and also a felony count stemming from allegations he spit on a jail nurse's hand.

The judge ordered him to submit to a blood test and the sheriff's office said that would be done Wednesday morning.

Sheriff Jim Neil says Jones was ''disorderly and combative'' throughout his booking.

A public defender representing Jones in his initial court appearance said that he ''vehemently denies'' allegations against him and will hire an attorney to challenge the charges.
