Titans rookie Jones charged with assault, felony vandalism
By PAUL KUHARSKY

Titans first-round draft pick Adam ?Pacman? Jones turned himself in to Metro police this morning at team headquarters and arrived at night court in handcuffs to be served with warrants charging two counts of assault and one count of vandalism.
The charges stemmed from an early morning incident at 615, a nightclub near the Coliseum that still has signage identifying it as The Trap. Jones had left in a limousine before police arrived at the scene, so no officer witnessed any of the alleged crimes.
The club?s manager and part owner, Robert Gaddy, a one-time lineman for the AFL Nashville Kats, and his younger brother, Lamar Woodson, pressed charges.
Gaddy, a longtime friend and business associate of Titans quarterback Steve McNair, said Jones then called him just before 9 a.m. this morning threatening to sue him, promising to return to the club and ?talking crazy.?
?I was through with it,? Gaddy said. ?He?s apparently not.?
After Jones and his friends moved outside the club, Gaddy said they fought among themselves and got in and out of their limousine for some time before departing.
The 6-foot-5, 330-pound Gaddy said he could have easily won a physical confrontation with Jones, who was listed on the arrest report as 5-10, 190.
?He put his hands on me, ?Gaddy said. ?I didn?t want to beat the p? out of him, I just wanted him to leave. But he didn?t want to leave, he was showing off for the individuals in the limo with him ?
?The Titans need to get him some psychological help. Otherwise he?s going to get in serious trouble.?
Jones, a former West Virginia cornerback, was the first defensive player selected in April?s NFL draft.
