Pac Man ups the Bet

When Chris Henry and Pac Man Jones left WVU a few years ago and headed off to the first round of the NFL draft, rumor has it that they made a wager with each other: who can get into the most trouble. Pac Man raises. Your move Chris.

As I am sure most of you are aware by now, Pac Man was at a strip club in Vegas this past weekend during the NBA all star game when a bit of a skermish broke out ultimately resulting in gun fire and critical injuries to several non-professional athletes. Jones was interviewed by police because he was a witness, not a material suspect.

Well, the story seems to be changing a little. According to the hospitable folks at the strip club, while Pac Man was making the sky rain with singles from his bling bling trash bag wallet, an uninvited stripper began grabbing money. Pac Man allegedly grabbed her, told her to bug off and then punched her. The club's security guard grabbed ahold of the holy one, Pac Man, and separated the superstar from the uninvited stripper. Pac Man then allegeldy told the security guard, "I'm gonna kill you." There's apparently video evidence that confirms most of this.

One thing led to another and wouldn't you know, a member of Pac Man's mantourage shot the guard and a few other fine folks. "What does [the shot security guard] get for a hard day's work? A bullet in the spine because of a jackass athlete," the club co-owner said. "It's the most tragic thing I can imagine." Well, he could have gotten herpes because of a jackass athlete.

Can anyone say "charged with conspiracy to commit second degree homocidehomicide" followed by "plea to voluntary manslaughter"? And to think, he just got his car back.

Jones has comes a long way since his days in Morgantown. He is now throwing wads of cash at strippers and threatening murder. Four years ago, he was groveling and begging for a free bag of ice from the E-mart. You see Timmy, good things can happen. Good things can happen.

(update by tummysticks) The bouncer also suffered from bite marks on his ankles. It is believed these were also inflicted by Pac-Man or someone in his entourage. Police will begin forensic "grill" comparisons immediately. Also check out a news article showing the amount ($81,000) in the bag and the promoter who tried to steal it.

Wise-ass comment contest.

This is an open call for the most clever remark concerning Pac Man and his latest run in with the law. Claiming not to have been a player in the shooting, and leaving the Las Vegas gentlemans club only because there was a triple shooting sounds plausible to me, but I am interested to hear your best quips.

I will start us off by saying that the truth lies undoubtedly in what Jones' attorney and the police may be unaware of- the fact that Pac Man was leaving because he had just been "sacrificed" on stage, got a little salty when whipped too hard with his own belt, then began to tongue lash the dancers (from a distance) with allegations of VD and poor feminine hygiene. It is as yet unclear if those in his entourage were encouraged to hasten his exit- if only for their own dignity or to enjoy a laugh safely away from enraged bouncers. Or he might have been been leaving because of the three man shooting, but that somehow seems less likely to me- a stripper with your belt is defintely more frightening than a stranger shooting other strangers. Let me hear your thoughts.
