If there is one thing that is abundantly clear, it is that Pacman Jones and strip clubs do not mix.
The Titans star, who is under a one-year suspension from the NFL, was charged last week with two felony counts stemming from a triple shooting in February at a Las Vegas strip club. Jones has had 12 run-ins with police, including six arrests, since being drafted by the Titans. The latest run-in was last week in Atlanta at, yes, another strip club.
But sources say that the stripperphilic athlete soon may be staying at home more—he has approved blueprints to install a strip club in his house.
“It’s basically a home theater, and we do a lot of those,” says a source in the home remodeling industry in suburban Atlanta, where Jones lives. “This one just happens to have a lighted stage with a pole in the middle. Mr. Jones has given us a lot of suggestions on how the room should look. He really knows a lot about strip clubs.”
A source at the local planning and codes office says that it doesn’t regulate home theaters. “As long as it’s in his house and isn’t a business, then it’s not anything we would get involved with,” the Georgia official says. “A home theater is a home theater, whether he’s showing movies or having live performers.”
One friend of Jones’ says the home strip club may be the troubled player’s best opportunity to straighten up his life.
“It’s the best of both worlds,” the Pacman posse member says. “He can hang out with his friends and with a bunch of strippers, and still be able to tell the Titans and the NFL, ‘Hey, I was home all night.’”
