Pacman Jones accused of sucker punch

Pacman Jones accused of sucker punch

Suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones could be facing more legal trouble.

The Tennessean reported Tuesday that a woman has accused Jones, who was suspended for the entire 2007 season, of sucker-punching her at an Atlanta strip club on January 3.

Wanda Jackson, an employee at the club, filed an application with the Fulton County Magistrate Court asking a judge to consider issuing a warrant against Jones.

In her complaint, Jackson said Jones became angry after accusing the club's management of stealing money and a bracelet from him.

"I was sitting in the office and he lunged at me numerous times in an effort to do grave bodily harm," Jackson wrote in her complaint.

"Veronica Jones, an owner, went into the hall to deal with a member of his entourage. I followed to gawk. He was in the hall, surprisingly reached over or around a security guard and sucker punched me in my left eye."

The Titans declined to comment on the latest incident involving Jones, who was suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for an accumulation of off the field incidents. In November, Goodell denied Jones' appeal for an early return.

"As we have said throughout his suspension, we will not comment on Adam Jones until he is reinstated by the commissioner," the Titans said in a statement.

When Jones' appeal was turned down, an NFL spokesman said Goodell would revisit the situation after the Pro Bowl, which will be played February 10.

This latest incident, however, could jeopardize his return to the league.
