Suspended NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones surrendered and was released on US$20,000 bail early on Friday on felony charges in a strip club brawl that preceded a triple shooting.
Jones is to return to Las Vegas Justice Court on July 23, an aide to Clark County District Attorney David Roger said on Friday.
He will plead not guilty to two felony charges of coercion stemming from allegations he threatened to kill employees of the Minxx nightclub and that he bit a bar bouncer, his lawyer said.
If convicted, Jones faces a maximum of 12 years in prison and a US$10,000 fine.
Two associates -- Sadia Morrison and Robert Reid -- were scheduled to turn themselves in on Friday, Langford said.
They also face felony charges in the Feb. 19 melee at the club several blocks off the Las Vegas Strip during the NBA All-Star Game weekend.
Jones "was in and out around 2am," said Lieutenant Jason Letkiewicz, a Las Vegas police watch commander.
After his release, Jones flew to Nashville, Tennessee, said another lawyer, Manny Arora, who remained in Las Vegas to meet with Langford and Clark County District Attorney David Roger, who filed charges on Wednesday against Jones, Morrison and Reid.
The charges in Las Vegas have cast more doubt on Jones' playing status with the Titans. Since he was drafted in April 2005, he has been arrested six time but has not been convicted.
