Pacman Jones Is In Trouble...Again.


I can't say I'm surprised that Tennessee Titans Star Cornerback, Adam "Pacman" Jones is in the Police blotter again. This is the same guy who was arrested in August for spitting in the face of a woman who allegedly stole his wallet and was booked again in October for spitting on another lady in a nightclub. He's a serial spitter, but this time he got in trouble for, as the kids say "making it rain". Here's the scoop from ESPN.com:

LAS VEGAS -- Police seized $81,020 in cash belonging to Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, money 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.


Wow. So during this frenzy three people got shot. What I want to know is why Pacman needed had to drop G's like Kobe dropped points on the Toronto Raptors (81 for those of you who are slow). That is beyond excessive. Why the hell did he get agitated when the strippers picked up the money? He surely wasn't going to pick up all that money and put it back in his pockets, was he? Just absurd. I'm still stuck on that $81,000. I can't begin to comprehend throwing that much money away. I was giving a bum a dollar one time and I a second dollar bill fell out of my wallet and the bum picked it up and took off running. I only wanted to give him a buck so I shouted "Hey, I need that! I was only gonna give you one!" and he yelled back "I need it more." That's about as close to Pacman's story as I've ever gotten.
