NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - There's a new twist to Adam "Pacman"
Jones' legal problems.
A man charged with shooting three people outside a Las Vegas
strip club has denied he was involved and accuses the NFL defensive
back of ordering the shooting and framing him to avoid identifying
the real shooter.
Arvin Kenti Edwards told WTVF-TV in Nashville in a telephone
interview that Jones lied to police about the February 2007
shooting at the Minxx club that left an employee paralyzed and two
other people wounded. Edwards says Jones paid someone for the
shooting, but that it wasn't him.
He accuses Jones of lying to help his plea deal as the suspended
cornerback tries to return to the NFL. Jones was traded by the
Tennessee Titans to the Dallas Cowboys last weekend.
Police say Edwards opened fire outside the strip club after
Jones was involved in a brawl inside. Edwards later demanded
$15,000 from Jones for "services rendered," according to police.
Edwards is being held in a Washington state jail on 1 million
dollars' bail pending extradition to Nevada.
