LAS VEGAS — A Washington man was arrested today in the triple shooting at a Las Vegas strip club that led to the suspension of NFL cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones.

Las Vegas police said Arvin Kenti Edwards was arrested late today at the Yakima County Correctional facility, where he was already in custody on unrelated charges.

Police said Edwards, 29, of Renton, Wash., faces three counts of attempted murder with a weapon and three counts of battery with substantial bodily harm.

Las Vegas police spokesman Bill Cassell wouldn't provide more details.

Club bouncer Tommy Urbanski was paralyzed from the waist down in the February 2007 shooting at the Minxx strip club during a raucous NBA All-Star Weekend.

Las Vegas police said Jones incited a fight that led to the shooting. The 24-year-old suspended Tennessee Titans star pleaded no contest in December to a disorderly conduct charge, agreeing to a year probation, random drug testing, community service and anger management classes.

Two co-defendants also took plea deals.

Jones' bodyguard, Robert "Big Rob" Reid of Carson, Calif., pleaded no contest to conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct in return for a promise of one year of probation. Reid had faced a felony coercion charge.

Sadia Morrison of New York, pleaded no contest to a felony battery charge in return for prosecutors dropping other felony charges.

Witnesses at the strip club told authorities that Jones grabbed money from a large plastic trash bag and showered strippers on stage with cash in an act known as "making it rain." A melee ensued, and shots were fired later outside the club. Urbanski, another bouncer and a female patron were wounded.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Jones last April for the 2007 season for his off-field conduct. The sixth pick in the 2005 draft has been arrested six times since being drafted. His status for the 2008 season remains unclear, although Goodell has said he will consider reinstating Jones before the season if he remains on his best behavior.

Minxx owner Robert Susnar said he was happy to hear of the arrest and expected his employees would be able to help investigators.

"We had plenty of people who got a clear look at the guy. I'm confident that if, in fact, that person they have in custody was the shooter, he will be identified by our employees," he said.

Urbanski has filed a civil lawsuit seeking to recover unspecified damages from Jones, the NFL, the Titans and the owners of Harlem Knights, a Houston strip club that rented the Las Vegas club the night of the shooting.
