State police say a plainclothes state trooper was trying to regain control when he drew his gun on rapper Jim Jones and his entourage.

State police say it happened after Jones' bodyguard assaulted another trooper backstage following the rapper's performance at the "Summer Jam" concert at Giants Stadium this month.

A video posted on the Web site whatspoppin.net shows the trooper, wearing a red T-shirt and Devils cap, pointing the gun with his finger off the trigger.

A member of Jones' entourage is heard on the tape saying the trooper didn't identify himself. That led Jones to refer to Sean Bell, who was shot and killed by New York City police.

Capt. Al Della Fave tells The Record of Bergen County the troopers identified themselves. Della Fave also says the video fails to show the arrest of Jones' bodyguard.

Charles Chandler was accused of grabbing a trooper's face and head for taking pictures.
