NFL: Alleged shooter in 'Pacman' case indicted in Vegas

Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — A Nevada grand jury has indicted a man accused of shooting three people in a strip club melee involving NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones.

A Las Vegas judge waived an appearance Friday for 29-year-old Arvin Kenti Edwards of Renton, Wash., and scheduled him for arraignment Aug. 5 .

Edwards is charged with felony attempted murder, battery with a deadly weapon causing substantial bodily harm, and being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm.

He's accused of shooting three people outside the strip club after Jones was involved a brawl inside. The fight occurred during a raucous NBA All-Star weekend in February 2007.

Edwards was arrested April 18 and is being held at a Las Vegas jail.
