PACMAN JONES

*Suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones finally made good on the money he owes a Las Vegas casino. On Friday, he forked over $20,000 to cover three casino markers he received Sept. 3 at Caesars Palace, reports the Associated Press.

       Jones also paid $1,675 in fees and penalties, according to Bernie Zadrowski, chief of the district attorney's bad check unit. In Nevada, unpaid casino markers, or loans to gamblers, are treated as bad checks and are turned over to the district attorney for prosecution.      

       "We filed a criminal complaint. Within 24 hours, Mr. Jones found a way to make restitution," said Clark County District Attorney David Roger. "Case closed."

       A similar complaint was filed against TNT analyst and former NBA star Charles Barkley earlier this month before he paid the $400,000 he owed the Wynn Hotel and Casino, as well as an additional $40,000 in late fees.       

       Jones' lawyer, Manny Arora accused Roger of filing the criminal complaint against Jones after Barkley's case made headlines. Roger denied Arora's claim.      

       "In Mr. Jones' case, we were working with him since February to obtain restitution," Roger said. "We determined he was not acting in good faith, and we filed a criminal complaint."
