DrunkBomber Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 LAS VEGAS -- Police seized $81,020 in cash belonging to Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, which they said sparked a melee and a triple shooting at a strip club over the weekend, court documents show. Jones was showering more than 40 strippers onstage at Minxx Gentlemen's Club & Lounge early Monday with the cash "intended as a visual effect," according to a search warrant. But a scuffle broke out when the Houston promoter who hired the strippers told them to pick the money up. The promoter, identified as Chris Mitchell, owner of "Harlem Knights," and a male associate took a plastic trash bag containing Jones' money and walked out the front door, the warrant says. Police recovered the money and two Breitling watches inside a safe at Mitchell's hotel room Monday morning. Mitchell, according to the warrant, "admits that he took the money in the bag belonging to Jones because he thought it was for the dancers." After Mitchell left the club, "a melee broke out," the warrant says. "Jones became irate about the loss of his money, and the fact that girls were in a frenzy, picking up the money at their feet," the warrant says. Later, a woman identified as a member of Jones' group fought with one of the strippers and security tried to break up the fight, it says. Jones told the guards to back off and reached behind his back "as if he were retrieving a weapon there." Jones' entourage was moved outside, but the woman continued to fight, according to the warrant filed Wednesday in Clark County District Court in Las Vegas. The woman hit a guard in the head with a champagne bottle and "began biting and screaming" when other guards tried to restrain her, the warrant says. Minutes later, a valet told police that he heard shots fired near the front entrance and saw a black man with cornrows in his hair pointing a black semi-automatic handgun, it says. The man then fled. The shots hit a female customer and two guards, one of whom remained in critical condition in a Las Vegas hospital. Aaron Cudworth, the guard hit with the champagne bottle, and the woman were treated and released. Police have described the suspected shooter as last seen wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. As of Thursday morning, police said he was still at large. Jones' lawyer, Worrick Robinson, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Jones did not know anyone involved in the shooting and was interviewed by local authorities as a witness, not as a suspect. Police have not said Jones is a person of interest in the case. Robinson could not be immediately reached for comment Thursday. Jones has faced criminal charges three times since the Titans made the former West Virginia University player the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft -- all involving incidents at nightclubs in Tennessee. The cornerback promised he had seen the inside of a courtroom for the last time Feb. 1, when a judge dismissed an assault charge filed by a woman who claimed Jones spit on her during an October nightclub altercation. Charges in a confrontation with a club manager during a private party in July 2005 also have been dismissed. Jones was ordered to stay out of trouble until July 5 if he wants his criminal record cleared of public intoxication and disorderly conduct charges for an August arrest in the Nashville suburb of Murfreesboro.

southsider2k5 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 There was a contingent of Bears fans who wanted him drafted at #4 IIRC. Damn would that have been fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 This proves my theory. If you are in the NFL and go by a nickname, and you use the first initial of your nickname instead of your first name on your jersey you are trouble. E.G. P. Jones, Tank Johnson, had it been A. Jones and Te. Johnson, they would be upstanding citizens...just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Ok, any lawyers out there wanna field this one? When does the money become the property of the strippers? When he puts the bag on the floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The money was for visual effect. Hey the boobs were fake, why not the money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 I thought I heard that the money was either being carried in a garbage bag or when they confiscated it they put it in a garbage bag. Either way thats a funny sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methinks Pacman maybe seeing some prison time soon. The guys rap sheet is rapidly gaining on the entire Bengals team, and he was given a slap on the wrist last time.

Still, it really is time for the NFL to enact stronger penalties for off-the-field behavior. The stuff we've seen in the last year is really getting excessive, especially when you start piling it in with the Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis, and other guys' that we've seen in the years beforehand. A few games suspension from the team just doesnt' seem to cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 As bad as the NBA players are, the NFL players are FAR worse people, but since the NFL has a communist hold on our nation in sports, nobody cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Image wise the NBA basically has been trash for most of it's history. From the fighting days, through the heavy drug days, to today. There have been years when they have been better, but over all it has the worse imagine of any major league. The NFL on the other hand, has an almost Teflon image. Still not perfect, but better than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember there are 53 guys on a team in the NFL compared to 10-15 in the NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
