Indiana Pacers player Stephen Jackson will be charged with a felony stemming from a fight outside a strip club, a spokesman for the Marion County prosecutor said this afternoon.
Stephen Jackson faces three criminal charges from the melee last week outside Club Rio.
Jackson will be charged with criminal recklessness, a felony. He will also be charged with battery and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors, said Roger Rayl, spokesman for Prosecutor Carl Brizzi.
A press conference is scheduled for later this afternoon to discuss the charges.
Jackson told police he kicked the man, who has a deformed arm, after he said the man started a brawl Friday outside Club Rio, 5054 W. 38th St.
Jackson was leaving the club with three teammates and several of their friends when police say Quentin “Fingers” Willford fought with some members of the group and yelled “Dump” -- a slang term for shoot a gun, according to the report.
At some point during the fight, Jackson told police he kicked Willford, 24. Another man, Deon Willford, drove a car that struck Jackson, injuring his leg. Deon Willford was arrested Tuesday on criminal recklessness and other charges.
Jackson admits he pulled his handgun and fired three to six shots in the air in self-defense.
Indiana Department of Correction records show that Quentin Willford served a six-year prison sentence for burglary, escape and dealing cocaine. He was released in August, records show.
Jackson, the other Pacers and their friends say they were being harassed by Quentin Willford and the people he was with inside the club.
Jackson told police they were trying to ignore the men, and that may have caused them to feel “disrespected,” according to the report.
The Pacers and their friends were leaving the club; Willford and his group followed them outside.
Willford began yelling, police said, threatening to shoot the Pacers.
Jackson showed Willford the handgun tucked into his pants, hoping to scare him off, police said.
A fight broke out between the two groups. Jackson initially said Quentin Willford struck him in the mouth, but later told police that he never got punched. It is unclear how Jackson's mouth was injured, requiring several stiches.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Kevin Garnett had 14 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves over the Indiana Pacers 103-87 in a preseason game on Monday night.
Rookie Randy Foye added 13 points for the Timberwolves.
Rawle Marshall led Indiana with 17 points. Jermaine O'Neal had 14 points, eight rebounds and four assists, and Stephen Jackson added 11 points.
Foye, a guard from Villanova, had scored just 10 points combined in the Timberwolves' two preseason games. Against the Pacers, he shot 3-for-5 from the field and made all seven free throws.
Indiana cut Minnesota's lead to 70-68 on Maceo Baston's dunk early in the fourth quarter, but the Timberwolves responded with a 12-0 run to take control of the game. It was Indiana's second straight double-digit home loss in the preseason.
Jackson, who was charged last week with a felony count of criminal recklessness for firing shots into the air during a fight at a strip club earlier this month, was booed by the home fans each time he entered the game. The crowd cheered for him in the third quarter. He had a nifty reverse layup and a 3-pointer and finished with seven points in the period to help the Pacers stay in the game.
Indiana was missing several players. Forward Al Harrington, the leading scorer in the Pacers' two previous preseason games, did not dress because he was resting. Guard Marquis Daniels sat out with a sore right hamstring and guard Orien Greene sat out with a broken left little finger.
Marshall scored six points in the first quarter to help the Pacers take an 18-17 lead. His best play was a reverse layup with 6:16 left in the quarter that gave Indiana an 11-4 lead.
The Pacers led 45-41 at halftime. Minnesota shot 28 percent in the first half but stayed in the game by outscoring the Pacers 20-8 from the free throw line. The teams combined for 24 turnovers before the break.
how have they reacted to the other players involved? or is sjax getting the brunt of it because he's the ass hat who shot his gun?
He will do no time, he has millions. If you got millions you can kill ers. Plus he has a ring. leave him alone
