Lawsuit against Pac-Man Jones - send him to jail along with Vick

A fight with his own bodyguard led to Adam 'Pacman' Jones' second suspension from the NFL.

Now the oft-troubled cornerback is being sued by his former attorney for failing to pay his legal fees.

Manny Arora filed a lawsuit against Jones in Fulton State Court, claiming the controversial cornerback owes him "in excess of $10,000" from 18 cases in which he represented either family or friends of Jones.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported the lawsuit on Wednesday. The suit, which was filed on December 30, lists several defendants assisted by Arora on charges ranging from speeding, kidnapping and murder.

Arora could not be reached for comment.

Jones currently is not on an NFL roster after a brief but ill-fated tenure with the Dallas Cowboys.

Dallas announced the release of Jones on January 7, ending a disastrous stint that was marred by a suspension, poor play and a neck injury.

In the wake of his release, an ESPN.com report came to light that three men alleged that Jones arranged a shooting outside an Atlanta-area strip club June 2007 - two months after he had already been suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Jones, who was acquired by the Cowboys from the Titans in the offseason, was suspended for the entire 2007 season by Goodell for repeated run-ins with the law.

In February 2007, Jones was involved in a melee at a Las Vegas strip club that ended in the shooting of three people and left one man paralyzed.
