Woman alleges Adam 'Pacman' Jones punched her at Atlanta strip club

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A woman is seeking an arrest warrant against suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, claiming he punched her at an Atlanta strip club.

Fulton County Magistrate Court officials told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Wanda S. Jackson asked for the warrant after a Jan. 3 altercation at the Body Tap Strip Club.

Jackson, an attorney, says in her filing that she was in the club's office when an angry Jones accused managers of stealing his money and bracelet.

"I was sitting in the office and he lunged at me numerous times in an effort to do grave bodily harm," Jackson wrote in the warrant application filed Jan. 7. "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."

Jackson did not immediately return a phone message requesting comment. Jones' attorney Manny Arora said no warrant has been issued against his client.

Norris Arnold, a court support manager for Fulton County, said a magistrate judge will review Jackson's application on Feb. 8 to determine whether the warrant will be filed.

WSB-TV in Atlanta reported that Jackson said she was in the strip club because of a divorce case she is handling.

Last month Jones pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge related to a strip club shooting in Las Vegas that left one man paralyzed.

Jones has been arrested six times since being drafted sixth overall in 2005, including two arrests in Georgia in 2006 that the Titans did not learn about until 2007. Jones was suspended for the 2007 season by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in April.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — An attorney is seeking an arrest warrant against suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones, claiming he punched her at an Atlanta strip club.

Wanda S. Jackson asked for the warrant after a Jan. 3 altercation at the Body Tap Strip Club.

Jackson claims she was in the club’s office when an angry Jones accused managers of stealing his money and bracelet.

Jackson said Jones lunged at her numerous times and then “sucker punched” her in the left eye.

Jackson did not return a phone message requesting comment.

Jones’ attorney Manny Arora said no warrant has been issued against Jones.

The Titans had no comment.

Last month Jones pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge related to a strip club shooting in Las Vegas.

Jones has been arrested six times since being drafted in 2005.

He was suspended for the 2007 season by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in April.

Meanwhile the NFL asked a judge in Las Vegas to dismiss the league as a defendant in a lawsuit stemming from the strip club shooting.

Boy, did this attorney stumble on to a gravy train. He'll have billable hours for the next century just by keeping this idiot Jones as a client.

Like they say, you can't fix stupid.

It's entirely possible that she made this up, especially since no warrant has been issued yet. Regardless, Pacman's an idiot for even setting foot in a strip club after what they've done to his career. The fact that he went to one the night before he met with Gooddell to discuss his punishment was bad enough.

This guy's going to end up like Maurice Clarett if he keeps this up.

man....pac man went off the cliff years ago

how many pro sports figures can you imagine before thug culture took hold that could have survived shootings and killings being associated with their career?

this is part of my our culture is about as bad as it’s ever been lecture

we tolerate society’s worst simply for athletic skills and because folks fear being tagged criticizing a known minority.

what if it was a hillbilly lineman moonlighting as a meth lab owner and dog fighter?

in the old days, guys like Lance Rentzel were finished over underaged girls....
