Adam Jones Might Have Ordered A Shooting In 2007
January 8, 2009 by Mike
Yesterday, the Dallas Cowboys released often troubled cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones. At first glance, it was thought that Jones was released due to his play on-the-field. Not so. ESPN’s John Barr, while working on a segment for Outside the Lines, found out that in 2007 just two months after getting suspended by commissioner Roger Goodell, Jones ordered a shooting in Atlanta after a dispute. The attorney for Jones said that this is false and that they will sue ESPN. For Jones’s sake, he better hope the truth comes out and he is absolved of anything to do with the crime. Because if this is found to be true, or he was involved some how, he will likely land a lifetime ban from the NFL. More from ESPN:
The June 2007 shooting occurred outside a suburban Atlanta strip club. One of the shooting victims told “Outside the Lines” that he had a dispute with Jones inside the strip club and that not long after he and the two others left the club, a hail of bullets struck their car. The NFL knew about that incident, but charges were never brought against anyone because the victims did not see the shooter.
“Outside the Lines” obtained information that police, investigating a separate Atlanta-area case, had been told by an informant that Jones ordered the June 2007 shooting following his dispute with one of the men. Police have said while the case remains open they are not actively investigating.
Jones denied the report and told the Dallas Morning News: “It will be a lawsuit in a week against ESPN. That’s stupid. It’s so stupid I have no more comments.”
