It looks like Pacman Jones is in a lot of trouble


"A topless dancer promoter took a trash bag full of NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones' cash and fled the Minxx strip club early Monday, leading to a brawl and shooting that injured three people, one critically, according to a search warrant obtained Wednesday by the Review-Journal." snip

"Cornelius Haynes Jr., better known as the rapper Nelly, and rapper Jermaine Dupri, were also at the club and sitting with Jones's entourage in the VIP section, the warrant stated.

Haynes had tossed hundreds of $1 bills on the stripper stage, an action known in street slang as "making it rain," and Jones joined in. An announcer told all the dancers to go to the center stage, and about 40 strippers soon were on the stage."

Mitchell told the strippers from his Houston club to pick up the money, which apparently was only supposed to be used for visual effect, the warrant stated. One of the dancers than took the trash bag filled with Jones' money and a "melee broke out. 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 stated."

It goes on. Pacman slammed some girls head into the stage (allegedly) then bit a bouncer's ankle and 2 bouncers were shot in the parking lot. One of the bouncers will never walk again.

3. Clearly ... and can you believe he dragged an innocent young naif like Nelly there?
Just tragic.

4. More to the story. Jones claims he didn't know shooter, the club owner
claims he has video of the whole thing from surveillance cameras.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17240614/

"He denied any knowledge of the shooter, but he was sitting right next to him," club co-owner Robert Susnar told the Las Vegas Review-Journal for Wednesday's edition. "Those guys came in together and left together."

"He was wholly to blame for it. He was the catalyst. He was the reason for all of the problems. Not only that, but he's sitting next to the shooter and says he has no knowledge of it."

snip

Security guard Aaron Cudworth, a mixed-martial artist with professional fighting experience, intervened and scuffled with Jones and members of his entourage, he said. Jones then threatened to kill the guard, Susnar said.

snip

Order was eventually restored and everyone moved outside before the gunman opened fire toward the front door of the club, hitting Cudworth, security guard Tom Urbanski and a female customer, he said.

"He goes out, retrieves a gun, then shoots two security guards, pretty much making good on the threat made by Pacman Jones," Susnar said.

---------------

Keep in mind we're hearing this story from an NFL player who has been in constant trouble with the law , usually involving his anger at strip clubs, from a strip club owner himself, and from the guy accused of running off with a bag full of money that wasn't clearly his (even if it was meant for the dancers, it was meant for all of them, not for the promoter). So all three could have credibility issues. Hopefully that tape is very detailed and unambiguous.
