Adam "Pacman" Jones' attorney said the Tennessee Titans cornerback is "very frightened" as he waits possible trial for obstructing police in Georgia and as he waits for the fallout from an investigation into a triple shooting in Las Vegas during NBA All-Star weekend, USA Today reported Thursday.
"He's very frightened, because there are such big clouds around him," Jones' attorney Manny Arora said Wednesday.
Jones is not a suspect in the Feb. 19 incident in Vegas, but a co-owner of the strip club where the shooting occurred alleges the shooter entered the club with Jones.
Meanwhile, a friend of Jones says he might have been more focused on gambling and drugs than football last season, according to NBC affiliate WSMV-TV.
Secretly recorded phone conversations reveal that a close friend of Jones was worried about the football player's lifestyle and his status on the team.
"I'm trying to get him to listen, man. You've got to (expletive) get through to him and we've got to slow him down," said Jones' friend and convicted felon Darryl Moore.
Moore was secretly recorded last year talking about Jones. The taped phone conversations were taken when Moore was being investigated during a major drug sting that authorities said turned up more than 1,500 pounds of marijuana, 128 pounds of cocaine and almost two dozen cars, including a Cadillac with the name "Pacman" embroidered on the seats.
"He's got to concentrate on this season, man. They've got them drug tests creeping up like a mother (expletive) too man," Moore said.
Moore talked to friends about his concerns about Jones' drug use.
"I was talking to him the other day about smoking, 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.
He also discussed Jones' betting habits. He said Jones bet thousands on games.
"He wanted me to take $6,000 over there to bet on that damn game. I told him I wouldn't take $6,000 over there and let him blow it on no (expletive) game. And damn if LSU (Louisiana State University) didn't beat Duke. He would have lost six grand," Moore said.
Meanwhile, a Las Vegas strip club owner is questioning Jones' status as a high roller. Two weeks ago, Las Vegas police said Jones lost thousands at a strip club after a fight broke out and three people were shot. A search warrant said more than $81,000 of Jones' money was found in the hotel room of a club promoter.
Tuesday, the club's owner said all the money wasn't Jones? and that some of it belonged to promoters.
"I know we had done payouts that were substantial to them, and I know for a fact that Pacman Jones only had forty-five hundred bucks," said club co-owner Robert Susnar.
Las Vegas police said they are still looking at surveillance tape taken inside the club. No one has been charged in the shootings.The National Football League is also investigating the incident in Las Vegas.
