LAS VEGAS -- A scheduled arraignment of suspended NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones has been postponed.
Defense attorney Robert Langford says Jones' bodyguard and co-defendant Robert "Big Rob" Reid missed a flight from Los Angeles and was not able to attend the Wednesday hearing.
A Clark County District Court judge has rescheduled the hearing for 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
Jones was expected to plea no contest to a reduced charge in a Las Vegas strip club melee that preceded a triple shooting, which left a man paralyzed.
The Tennessee Titans cornerback has agreed to a plea deal that will get him probation in return for his testimony about the gunman who opened fire outside the club at the end of NBA All-Star weekend in February.
The 24-year-old Jones is expected to get up to one year of probation for his plea to conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct, a gross misdemeanor.
