This guy can’t escape trouble (see complete list below)… and this kind of stuff couldn’t happen anywhere but in Vegas with a professional athlete:
Titans cornerback Pacman Jones set off a melee that led to a triple shooting outside a Las Vegas strip club Monday, the club’s co-owner said, based on accounts he said he had from eyewitnesses. He said the melee broke out when Jones began throwing money into the air around strippers. When a security guard grabbed Jones, the player’s entourage jumped in. A woman with Jones then hit the guard over the head with a champagne bottle and Jones attacked the guard.

Pacman Jones’ Complete Controversy List
In October 2003, Jones was sentenced to one year in jail following a bar fight in Morgantown, WV where he and other West Virginia University football players allegedly beat another student with a pool cue, but the sentence was suspended and he was placed on two years probation.
On July 13, 2005 Jones was arrested on charges of assault and felony vandalism stemming from a nightclub altercation.
On September 5, 2005 Jones was a guest at the annual Nashville Sports Council Kickoff Luncheon. Later that evening, after a loud verbal tantrum when he was told to wait in line for his vehicle, Jones was counseled by the police. He also refused to pay for any valet services used that evening.
In October 2005, in a petition filed by the state of WV, it was alleged that Jones had not made regular and sufficient contact with his probation officer and that he did not report his July arrest in Nashville in a timely fashion.
The Judge granted the probation extension of 90 days, even though the state requested for it to be extended up to a year.
On August 25, 2006, Jones was arrested in Murfreesboro, Tennessee for disorderly conduct and public intoxication. He claimed a woman stole his wallet. She claimed that she did not steal anything and Jones spat on her. Police officers said they ordered Jones to leave several times, but he refused and continued to shout profanities at the woman. A judge granted him six months probation on the conditions that he stays out of further trouble and away from the nightclub[1]

Jones was cited for misdemeanor assault for allegedly spitting in the face of a female student from Tennessee State University during a private party at Club Mystic, a Nashville nightclub.

Accoriding to the club’s co-owner, Jones, there with an entourage of half a dozen people, “made it rain” several hundred one-dollar bills. Jones becamed enraged when one of the strippers began taking the money without his permission and slammed her head on the stage. A security guard intervened and scuffled with member’s of Jones’ crew. Jones threathened the guard’s life. Soon after order was restored, the club owner says a person in Jones entourage returned with and fired into the club hitting three people including the security guard, who survived with minor injuries. One of the people hit, however, has been paralyzed from the waist down. Jones maintains that he did not know the shooter.
