Arvin Kenti Edwards entered the plea on Tuesday (September 21st) for shooting three people in 2007 outside of Minxx Gentlemen's Club & Lounge, that left one man paralyzed and two others wounded.

Had Edwards went to trial, he could have been sentenced to up to 186 years in prison. Although maintained his innocence in the shooting, Edwards said he copped the plea to avoid the jail time.

According to testimony, Jones paid an associate $15,000 which eventually went to Edwards, because Jones was allegedly scared Edwards would track him down.
