[paulisded]

Supposedly, the former soccer player turned movie tough guy was here to hunt pheasants. Instead, he got drunk and punched a couple of morons in a bar.

Tough-guy movie actor beat up in Sioux Falls bar

Josh Verges • jverges@argusleader.com • December 6, 2008


Hollywood actor Vinnie Jones was treated for injuries and arrested after a Thursday night bar fight at Wiley's Tavern in downtown Sioux Falls.

Jones, 43, is a British former soccer player whose movie credits include "Snatch," "Gone in Sixty Seconds" and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." He also did voice-over work in "Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties."

But the Sioux Falls man Jones allegedly punched said it was his role as Juggernaut in "X-Men: The Last Stand," that sparked the fight.

Juan Barrera, 24, said his roommates were playing pool when Jones approached and asked to play. He said Jesse Bickett, 24, of Montrose told Jones he'd have to wait.

That's when one of Barrera's roommates asked Jones whether he was "that guy from X-Men."

"He got offended by that, and he started pushing my other friends around. He said he's been in so many other movies or whatever," Barrera said.

Barrera went to the restroom, so he didn't see what happened next.
Police: 'He got the worst end of that deal'

Sioux Falls Police Sgt. Tim Hagen said people were pushing and shoving when Jones charged at Bickett, who hit the actor in the face with a beer glass.

"He got the worst end of that deal," Hagen said, examining a police photograph of Jones' face.

Jones was known for his violence on the soccer field.

Police were called to the bar at 11:35 p.m. Thursday. They found Bickett outside the bar with cuts on his hand and arrested him for aggravated assault.

They later found Jones at Sanford USD Medical Center where he was treated for cuts to the face. He was charged with simple assault and posted bond Friday morning.

Police do not identify victims, but Barrera said he was the man Jones punched. He said he was exiting the restroom when he found Jones and Wiley's staff members coming the opposite direction.

"His whole face was covered in blood," Barrera said.

"I just walked out the restroom, didn't say a word to him ... and he struck me in the mouth."

Barrera said he countered with one or two punches to Jones' face, then knocked him to the floor before Wiley's staff escorted Barrera outside.

Barrera said Minnehaha County Jail staff called him Friday morning to warn that Jones was free on bail.

Jones' manager, Alex Cole, had more questions than answers. He said Jones hasn't answered his phone calls, and his wife is worried about him.

Cole said Jones is on vacation, but he didn't know specifically what the actor was doing in Sioux Falls.
Mom: '(Jones) doesn't want to run into me'

Barrera said someone who was with Jones at the bar said he was in Sioux Falls to hunt.

Jones' wife and manager aren't the only people who want to speak with the actor: Deb Bickett said Friday afternoon that her son just got out of surgery.

"He's got major hospital bills hanging over his head," she said. "He (Jones) doesn't want to run into me."

Bickett said her son told her, "It was definitely self-defense, Mom."

Neither man made a court appearance Friday, and no formal charges have been filed. The state's attorney's office said it has not yet received a report from police.

that would be funny if it was like

"Vinnie Jones was assaulted by an an-named assailant after he was heard making the comment "Paul Westerberg is overrated". The attacker then immediately tried to get blown by Vinnie Jones' girlfriend"

Gaz always has the best ideas.

Hehe..I just watched an episode of Extra's with him in it.

He stars as himself in a movie with Andy's arch nemesis Ross Kemp and threatens to beat up the lead in Andy's movie.

Vinnie Jones looks like half a maniac, guess he is one too.
The PerezHilton posting made it sound like he drove a beer mug through someone's face.

[NYHCmikeX]

His face looked pretty fucked up in the video. I'd still rather fight him than Boris the Blade

[OGC]

Fez should have done that to the guy with the poinsettia.

[KingModem]

Holy shit. That was my bar when I lived in Sioux Falls (formerly Long Shots Bar).

I never thought anyone, especially a skinny white kid from Montrose would be able to take on BulletTooth Tony.

Speaks volumes for South Dakota.
