Pacman Finds a Friendly Witness

It seems Adam "Pacman" Jones has found a corroborating witness in the Las Vegas melee. Jones has claimed that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. An employee at Minxx Gentlemen's Club is backing him up.

The unnamed employee has contacted Jones' legal team and is prepared to testify that Pacman did not do anything to spark a melee that preceded a triple shooting in February.

"..the witness told police Jones made no threats to a bouncer and that it was the other way around.

'The bodyguard had a baton and told Adam Jones that he was going to break his knees,' [Jones' attorney] Robinson said."


Pacman's attorney, Worrick Robinson, feels confident that the witness will help in exonerating Jones from the felony coercion charges Jones faces in Las Vegas. "He would have no reason to lie. Adam doesn't know this person," Robinson said.

As of the time of this post, this news had not made the home page of ESPN.com. When Jones recently obtained a moving violation for having bad tags, ESPN considered that front page news. I remain hopeful that this slightly more positive devlopment in Jones' life will be reported with the same enthusiasm.
