Strip club shooting

The district attorney in Las Vegas says he'll review police reports of NFL football player Adam "Pacman" Jones's weekend arrest in Cincinnati before deciding whether to ask a judge to jail Jones for violating a probation stay-out-of-trouble order.

Clark County District Attorney David Roger tells The Associated Press it could be several weeks before he has the information to decide whether to seek jailing Jones for up to a year.

The 27-year-old Jones plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. He was arrested early Sunday at a Cincinnati bar on charges of resisting arrest and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while intoxicated.

Jones's lawyer in Las Vegas couldn't immediately be reached Monday.

Jones was sentenced to one year of probation in February for his role in a 2007 strip club melee in Las Vegas.

How many times does this loser have to be arrested before he takes a hard look at himself in the mirror and makes some changes. These might be minor charges but come on. When does the wake-up call come for this man?

I don't know how many strikes this is for this knucklehead, but I think this'll be it in the NFL for him. The talent level that seemed so high a few years back has faded and his on-field performance has been nothing to write home about since the Vegas incident. Only the Raiders would be stupid enough to bring him on-board and they're looking pretty good in the defensive backfield now.
