Remember when Pacman Jones made it rain in a Las Vegas strip club in February and a subsequent shooting in which members of his entourage were said to be involved left a man paralyzed? Well, Pacman vehemently denied knowing the gunman and has maintained that position ever since.

As odd as this might seem, Pacman wasn’t being entirely truthful and will plea today with a promise he cooperates law enforcement.

Jones’ attorney, Robert Langford, said he would appear on Jones’ behalf Tuesday to tell Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Tony Abbatangelo that Jones intends to take a plea. The actual plea will take place at a later date before a Clark County District Court judge.

“He has agreed to testify in whatever hearings come up regarding the shooter,” Langford said. Jones, who is not expected to appear at Tuesday’s hearing, would not be sentenced until after testifying, he said.

Abbatangelo is expected to waive Jones’ preliminary hearing on two felony coercion charges stemmin g from allegations he incited the melee inside the club. The evidentiary hearing was postponed Oct. 29 while plea negotiations continued.

I’m not a legal expert, but pleas typically don’t go to people with no knowledge of an investigation. The fact this comes so soon after Jones leaned he wouldn’t be reinstated by the NFL last week seems very peculiar, yes?
