Goodell calls misbehaving Pacman on carpet April 3

PHOENIX -- Adam "Pacman" Jones will meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on April 3 to discuss the Tennessee Titans cornerback's run-ins with the law.

A person within the league familiar with Jones' situation told the Associated Press on Tuesday that a hearing will occur next Tuesday. That person requested anonymity because the hearing has not been announced.

Goodell is unlikely to make any decision on a suspension or fine at that time, because the commissioner's new, stricter player conduct policy has not been completed.

The hearing was first reported by the NFL Network.

Titans coach Jeff Fisher said Tuesday he has not spoken with Jones since just after Las Vegas incident Vegas "when we helped facilitate the first meeting with police."

"He's very disappointed with what's happened," Fisher said. "He thinks he let the city, the fans and his teammates and the organization down."

On Monday, Las Vegas police recommended prosecutors file a felony charge of coercion and misdemeanor charges of battery and threat against Jones, stemming from a Feb. 19 strip club fight and shooting.

Jones has talked to police in 10 separate incidents since being drafted in April 2005 and has been arrested five times.

Fisher, for one, fully supports a stricter NFL conduct policy.

"Our organization is very much in favor of the commissioner's involvement," he said. "We're very much in tune with him. He has a plan and is determined, as are all of us, to minimize, if not eliminate this."

While Jones awaits possible charges in the Las Vegas case, a Tennessee prosecutor said Tuesday he will revive a criminal case against Jones if the Titans cornerback is charged in Nevada.

In January, Jones struck a deal with Rutherford County prosecutors on misdemeanor charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct. He was given a chance to avoid jail and have the counts expunged from his record if he stayed out of trouble until July 5.

"In the event we determine he hasn't ..., we would file a motion and ask that the case be reinstated to the court docket," District Attorney General William Whitesell told the AP.
