ATLANTA – Suspended NFL player Adam “Pacman” Jones was being sought by police for questioning about a shooting early Monday involving members of his entourage after a fight at an Atlanta strip club.
The Tennessee Titans cornerback is currently on suspension following a melee and shooting at a Las Vegas strip club.
Jones, his group and three other people got into a fight, apparently over a woman, at a club around 4 a.m., officer Ariel Toledo said.
After everyone involved left the strip club – the three people in one car, and Jones and his entourage in three other cars – someone in Jones’ group shot at the car, and the others returned fire, Toledo said.
Toledo said Jones was not present when the shots were fired.
“We believe he knows some of his entourage who were involved in the shooting,” Toledo said. “On himself, we do not have any charges on him. He wasn’t there when the shooting occurred.”
One person who was outside the vehicles and not involved in the dispute was injured by debris in the shooting and was treated by emergency medical technicians, Toledo said.
Manny Arora, Jones’ attorney, said he expects Jones will give the police whatever help he can.
“I’ve got to sit down with him and sit down with the police and figure out what we’re looking at or if in fact he can even help them,” Arora said. “Once we agree to do that, I will do it very privately and we’ll take care of it.”
He said that may be in person, by phone or even by e-maiinstated after 10 games for good behavior if he adheres to conditions set by Goodell and is not arrested again. Missing the entire season would cost him his salary of nearly $1.3 million.
Jones’ suspension requires him to “have no further adverse involvement with law enforcement” and to adhere to restrictions on his activities that have been agreed to by himself and the Titans.
Whether being questioned by police about a fight and shooting violates the terms of his suspension remains to be seen.
“We are looking into it,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday when asked about the incident.
