Adam "Pacman" Jones - Football Player or Thug Prince of Nashville?

These are the many faces of Adam "Pacman" Jones. An "alledgedly" talented player for the NFL football team the Tennessee Titans. Recently though, Pacman's lengthy rap-sheet has been a national conversation piece. Today, we'll determine who the real Pacman is. Lets start with his rap sheet:

10/04/03: Jones was sentenced to one year in jail following a bar fight in which he beat another student with a pool cue, while he was a student at West Virginia University, but the sentence was suspended and he was placed on two years probation.

4/27/05: Adam "Pacman" Jones was at Club Blaze in Conley, Ga., around 3 a.m. ET on April 27 when officers responded to a fight involving two women. Andrea Akins, a supervisor at the club, told police she was punched in the mouth by a woman who was with Jones. But she later told police the woman "had nothing to do with the altercation," a police report said.

7/13/05: The Tennessee Titans' top draft pick, Adam "Pacman" Jones, was arrested Wednesday on charges of assault and felony vandalism stemming from a nightclub altercation. Jones surrendered to Nashville police at Titans headquarters Wednesday morning. Jones was in handcuffs, a white T-shirt and light blue exercise pants when he appeared smiling before a night court commissioner, who set bond at $7,000. The charges included one felony vandalism charge and two misdemeanor counts of assault.

9/5/05: The annual Nashville Sports Council Kickoff Luncheon was held at the Renaissance Hotel. Among the 800 guest was none other than Pacman Jones ... later that evening Jones was counseled for a loud verbal tantrum when he was told to wait in line for his vehicle. He also refused to pay for any valet services used that evening.

10/25/05: In a petition filed by the state, it was alleged that Jones has 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.

4/11/06: Nine people were arrested on suspicion of having roles in two major drug rings that trafficked cocaine and marijuana in Sumner and Davidson counties, including a Nashville man with possible ties to Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, authorities said yesterday.
Officers from Davidson and Sumner counties seized 1,653 pounds of marijuana, 128 pounds of cocaine, more than 20 vehicles and $608,000, police said.

4/18/06: Police say Pacman was one of 12 or more people that gathered at a gas station in Nashville when a fight broke out and gunshots were fired.
A surveillance camera shows that Pacman was identified as being in the crowd and he confirmed that fact to police.

8/23/06: Jones was also accused of simple assault by Toya Garth, who said Jones spit in her face. Garth said Jones "got very close to her and spit in her face, and which point she stated she spit back in his face,'' according to statement taken by police.
After Jones was asked to leave, police said he began yelling profanities and was arrested by Officer Matt Baldwin.

"Mr. Jones was given several opportunities to leave, he just wouldn't do it,'' Lt. Alvin Baird said. "As he was leaving he hung out the passenger side of the vehicle and began yelling profanities at the security at Sweetwater Saloon, and he put us in a place where we had to do something. Jones was also said to have bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol.
He was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.

10/26/06: 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. He was suspended by the Titans for one game and was scheduled to be booked on the charge on November 17, 2006.

2/18/07: During the 2007 NBA All-Star Game weekend in Las Vegas (Feb. 16-18, 2007), Jones is alleged to have been involved in an altercation with an exotic dancer at a local strip club. According to the club's co-owner, Jones approached the stage with a garbage bag filled with approximately $81,000 in one-dollar bills. Jones proceeded to throw the money into the air over the exotic dancers for a dramatic effect, an act known as "making it rain". Becoming enraged when one of the dancers began taking the money without his permission, Jones grabbed her by her hair and slammed her head on the stage. A security guard intervened and scuffled with members of Jones' entourage of half a dozen people, during which time Jones allegedly bit the guard on the lower leg. Jones then allegedly threatened the guard's life. After the patrons of the club exited, the club owner says a person in Jones' entourage returned with a gun and fired into a crowd, hitting three people, including the security guard involved in the earlier skirmish. Although the guard was shot twice, one of the people hit, former professional wrestler Tommy Urbanski, was paralyzed from the waist down. Jones maintains that he did not know the shooter, although the club's owner insists that Jones did know the shooter.

More trouble followed Jones after the altercation, when drug dealer Darryl Moore reported to the police after being busted during a deal about his phone conversations with Jones. "We gotta slow down, man. We gotta get him focused on football, man. He's focused on too much other shit," Moore said. Wiretapped phone conversations between Moore and his friends revealed Moore talking about how Jones bet on college games to earn quick money. "You know, I was talkin' to him the other day about smokin', and he was like ‘man, if I didn't smoke I couldn't take all the stress that I'm dealing with right now,'" Moore said.

3/11/07: Tennessee cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has drawn the attention of authorities again. This time police arrested a man for threatening him with a pocket knife.
Police arrested Clayton Smith of Spring Hill on Friday night after he pulled the knife on Jones at a bowling alley. Smith "threatened to beat up Mr. Jones and to use the knife on him," said Franklin police detective Stephanie Cisco, who was at the Franklin Family Entertainment Center when the incident occurred around 10:15 p.m.

Okay, we've got 11 incidents with police, in roughly 4 years. Sorry to say, but thats a heck of alot of coincidence. I'm not so sure that Pacman's necessarily a bad guy, he's just keeping it real for the rest of us. Below is a picture of the West Virginia yokel he supposedly beat with a pool cue. From what I understand the gentleman (inbreeder) was interrupting a game to try to play air guitar with the cue and the rest is a big misunderstanding.

As far as the two women fighting, what is a clasier move than not hitting a woman, but getting another woman to do it for you (stone-cold pimpin).

That supposed nightclub altercation, he just had some words with the owner because they didn't sell Schlitz Malt Liquor. Here's his quote from the conversation, "How you supposed to run a successful business, you ain't got no Schlitz Malt Liquor! You ain't representin'! You ain't keepin' it real! " So true Pacman, so trill.

Not paying valet? Why should he pay, I heard Park That Azz, and theres not one slamming track on the whole disc.

As far as being linked to drug trafficing, who doesn't have a few shady friends in their past. Here are a few of mine:

These are my friends Pablo, Kate, and Tony. They've been accused of some pretty bad things too. But I don't believe any of it, cause people are jealous of how they're livin.

All of this spitting in people's faces is misunderstood too. Pacman traced his ancestry to the Malajimbu tribe of southern Africa.

It is customary for the males of this tribe to pick out their wife by spitting on the most desirable female. Just look below at the happy recipient.

"Making it rain" on some strippers, who doesn't have that on their top 10 list of things to do before they die.

Lots of my friends bring firearms to strip clubs. It's all in a night of fun for us. Don't give me that Pacman hangs with a rough crowd, just look below at his posse.

These look like a bunch of non-threatening fellas from the hood. So give Pacman a break, he's trying to show us how life really is on the mean and dirty streets of Nashville. Trust me, I've been to that Family Fun Center in Franklin, TN and its full of gangstas and killas, not nice guys like Pac and the Murda Squad (name for his friends club). Remember being a hustla ain't all beeyotches and cristal.
