Adam 'Pacman' JONES TO FACE TWO FELONY CHARGES
Arrest warrants were issued on Wednesday for Adam 'Pacman' Jones and two members of his entourage, both of whom also face felony charges.
The 23-year-old faces two counts of felony coercion stemming from allegations that he threatened to kill employees inside the Minxx Gentlemen's Club on February 19.
Robert Reid, 37, faces one count of felony coercion. Las Vegas police identified Reid as Jones' 'hired bodyguard'.
Sadia Morrison, 24, was charged with felony coercion, battery and felony assault with a deadly weapon.
Since being drafted sixth overall in 2005, Jones has been questioned by police 10 times and arrested five times, although he is yet to be convicted of any crime.
Jones was suspended on April 10 for the upcoming season after violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. He dropped his appeal last week after a meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Kansas City Chiefs - News
The month of May has been anything but merry for the Kansas City Chiefs. If the normally short, laid-back practices of the spring are this tumultuous, what chaos and controversy must loom in the autumn?
"This is the offseason. Are you kidding me?" coach Herm Edwards exclaimed this week while parrying with reporters.
"We will have a starting football team when we go to Houston (for the Sept. 9 season opener). They'll be the best 46 guys in my opinion who can help us win games. Period."
But if only it were that simple. For many reasons beyond his control, Edwards is finding the sledding rough as he goes about retooling one of the NFL's oldest lineups and patching up quarrels between players and the front office.
The biggest irritant, for both the quarterback and the coach, is the presence of Trent Green.
Soon to turn 37, the two-time Pro Bowler figures he's not in the long-range plans for a team which Edwards has said needs to get younger.
Man, the chiefs need to get their sh*t together soon...
