Where is Adam “Pacman” Jones?

Former NFL football player Adam Jones, also known as “Pacman” by his fans, settled a large gambling debt with a Las Vegas casino in mid 2008. What has he been up to since then?

Adam Jones was drafted to the Tennessee Titans for the 2005 NFL season. Since then, he has had numerous accounts with the law. One of the bigger ones was a shooting controversy in a Las Vegas strip club where he allegedly hurt a stripper by smashing her head on the stage. He and his group were escorted out of the facility only to have one of his men come back in to “shoot up the club.” Jones was acquitted of the charges.

The next big felony that Jones faced was his failure to pay back a $20,000 gambling debt owed to Caesars Palace. Nevada has a strict bad check law. Those who owe money to casinos have 90 days from when they were given a notice by the bad check unit to pay the full amount. If the 90 days have passed and debtors still have outstanding balance, casinos have the right to press criminal charges. This was what happened to Jones. He needed to pay back two $5,000 markers and one $10,000 marker.

Jones is known to be a nuisance in the NFL; he doesn’t stop getting into trouble. Right after his contract was over with the Titans, he signed another one with the Dallas Cowboys. Even though he was playing for one of the biggest and baddest teams in the leagues, his rap sheet kept him from playing a full season. Jones was not able to resign with the Cowboys and has not had any other team choose him to this day. However, he is still out there trying to gain brownie points with the league.

I guess he needs to stay out of Caesars online.
