LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- There has been more trouble for former Mountaineer football player Adam "Pacman" Jones.
Security cameras placed him at the scene of a shooting at a strip club in Las Vegas last weekend.
One of the owners of the club said Pacman Jones came with the shooter and left with the shooter, and that surveillance videos show him sitting next to the shooter for much of the night.
He went on to say that Pacman Jones threw hundreds of $1 bills on the stage.
He said Jones got upset when the dancer started picking them up without his permission. He reportedly got angry, grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the stage.
A security guard intervened, and Jones threatened to kill him.
That security guard later was shot and is now paralyzed.
Police have not said if Jones is a person of interest in the case.

He is which is why the Titans gambled on him.
Interestingly Jones also just fired his agent shortly after the incident.

His closing speed is incredible.
"His closing speed is incredible."
He'll be of value to the prison team.
Interesting ESPN hasn't mentioned this at all.
Mike and Mike in the am (ESPN News Channel)were discussing it a few minutes ago, and mentioned that trouble always seems to find him. I wonder why?
It's a good thing Pacman did not say he hates gay people.
Shootings are more of a Chargers thing. Incidentally, you'd never know from media coverage that San Diego has had 8 incidents to the Bengals' 9, and that the Chargers were far more serious (shootings, drug smuggling vs. DUI and the dreaded Boating Under the Influence).
A simple solution for the Bengals would be to just hire personal drivers for the players.
I think they've moved in that direction. At least there's some sort of 24 hour cab hotline available to the players for free. Who knows if they'll use it or not.
troubles seems to sniff this guy out... ;)
Well, OK, then. It's not like he actually did kill anybody, and since he's such a good CB, I vote he goes free... /s
Robert Susnar, the co-owner of Minxx Gentleman's Club, said that Jones had been inside his establishment with the man who later returned with a gun. Sunsar also said that Jones threatened one of the club's security guards after the guard restrained Jones in a money-related fracas involving some of the strippers. "For Pacman to have the gall to say he doesn't know the shooter is ridiculous," Susnar said in The Tennessean. "Not only does he know the shooter, his girlfriend knows the shooter, and everyone who was with him knows the shooter. They came with him and they left with him." Susnar reportedly told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Jones certainly should not get off the hook.
I'm sure there must be some misunderstanding.
Surely this young man was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and has probably never listened to any rap music?
