While it's the NFL offseason, and training camp isn't scheduled to start for over a month, Adam "Pacman" Jones is again back in the news and not for his skills on the gridiron. A Las Vegas court recently sentenced him for his involvement in the 2007 strip club shooting. Jones has been ordered to pay $11.7 million dollars in damages to the victims.
The shooting was made famous by Jones's throwing several thousand dollars into the air in an attempt to "make it rain". Hot tempers escalated the situation into a fight and subsequently a shooting. While Jones was not one of the shooters, he pled no contest to misdemeanor conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct and was given a year of probation and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.
Jones has a long history of run-ins with the law and suspensions from the NFL. He recently signed a one year, $950,000 deal with the Bengals during the offseason.
