Arvin Kenti Edwards, of Renton, Wash., faces three counts of attempted murder with a weapon and three counts of battery with substantial bodily harm, police said.
Edwards was arrested Friday in the Yakima County Correctional Facility, where he was already in custody on a domestic violence charge, a jail clerk said.
Renton police arrested Edwards for assault on March 17. He was later transferred to Yakima, where he was being held on $50,000 bail. He's due in court Wednesday, according to Renton city officer Sean Gannon.
Jail records did not indicate whether Edwards had an attorney or had been assigned a public defender, Gannon said.
Three people were shot -- one paralyzed from the waist down -- in the brawl at Minxx strip club that capped a raucous NBA All-Star Weekend in February 2007.
Las Vegas police said Jones incited the fight when he "made it rain" by showering strippers with cash and then became angry when the women picked up the money.
Jones pleaded no contest Dec. 6 in Las Vegas to conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct in a plea deal reducing two felony charges. In return, he agreed to tell police what he knew about the shooter.
Jones' attorney, Manny Arora, would not comment Saturday on whether his client played a role in the arrest, except to note that Jones has been "cooperating with the authorities from the beginning."
Arora said Jones never acknowledged any role in the shooting that happened outside the club.
"He had nothing to do with the shooting," said the Atlanta-based Arora.
Jones was suspended for the 2007 season for his role in the Las Vegas incident and other misconduct off the field.
Jones has been trying to rehabilitate his image to improve the chances his suspension will be lifted by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who has said he will consider reinstating Jones for the 2008 season.
"I just hope it's the right guy and everyone can get some closure," said Tommy Urbanski, a club bouncer who was paralyzed in the shooting.
The 45-year-old Urbanski didn't know if he would be able to identify the shooter by sight, but was confident that others who were outside the club could.
"I got a quick look," Urbanski said. "Thank God a lot of other people got a lot better look."
Urbanski said Saturday that he had not heard from police in several months and had no information about whether Jones provided the identification that led to Edwards' arrest.
"Maybe police were looking for the guy for a while, or maybe he finally gave this guy up," he said.
