Alleged shooter in ‘Pacman’s’ Vegas case awaits extradition

LAS VEGAS (AP) ‘ A 29-year-old man awaited extradition to Nevada on Saturday for attempted murder charges stemming from the Las Vegas strip club melee and triple shooting that resulted in the suspension of Titans cornerback Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones.

Arvin Kenti Edwards, of Renton, Wash., faces three counts of attempted murder with a weapon and three counts of battery with substantial bodily harm, police said.

Edwards was arrested Friday in the Yakima County Correctional Facility, where he was already in custody on a domestic violence charge, a jail clerk said.

Renton police arrested Edwards for assault on March 17. He was later transferred to Yakima, where he was being held on $50,000 bail. He’s due in court Wednesday, according to Renton city officer Sean Gannon. Jail records did not indicate whether Edwards had an attorney or had been assigned a public defender, Gannon said.

Jones’ attorney would not comment Saturday on whether his client played a role in the arrest, except to note that Jones has been ‘cooperating with the authorities from the beginning.’
