Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - Suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones surrendered to Las Vegas police early Friday morning and was booked on two counts of felony coercion stemming from a nightclub brawl that preceded a shooting during the weekend of the NBA All-Star Game in February.

Jones turned himself in to the Clark County Detention Center just before 2 a.m. (pt). He posted bail of $20,000 and was released.

If convicted, the charges of felony coercion carry a maximum prison sentence of 12 years and a fine of up to $10,000.

Jones is charged with coercion for the battery, biting of and interference of a bar bouncer who was attempting to protect other patrons and employees. He also threatened to kill the bouncer, according to police reports.

Coercion is the act of threatening or physically interfering with a person trying to do something that he or she has a right and responsibility to do.

The incident occurred early in the morning of February 19 at the Minxx Gentlemen's Club. An unidentified black male shot three people after a melee inside and outside the club.

A bar bouncer was left paralyzed after the shooting, while two others suffered minor injuries.

Jones has had numerous run-ins with the law and his actions prompted NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to levy a one-year suspension on April 10. Goodell said, at the time, the suspension could have been reduced to 10 games if certain conditions were met.

An appeal by Jones was filed, but he dropped it on May 12 after meeting with Goodell.
