Vinnie Jones was recently acquitted of assault charges in conjunction with this bar fight in South Dakota back in December.  In the video, we see Jones, who’d just been hit with a beer glass, throw a few punches at Juan Barrera before Barrera takes him down.  However, Jones’ and Barrera’s accounts of the incident differ, much like an 80s sitcom.  Barrera says:

Juan Barrera said they were playing pool when Jones asked to play, then got offended when one of them asked if he was “that guy from X-Men.” Barrera said he was punched by Jones and countered with one or two of his own. “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.”

Jones says:
