Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson, who was taken into custody on June 9 on suspicion of felony domestic violence, now has a chance to sidestep formal criminal charges.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, Ivor Pine, confirmed to The Associated Press on Monday that Jackson’s case has been placed into a pre-filing diversion program for eligible individuals. This type of City Attorney Hearing serves as an alternative pathway rather than pursuing misdemeanor criminal prosecution.
While no charges are being filed against Jackson at this time, the case has not been closed. Authorities say it can be revisited if additional developments come to light.
When Jackson was arrested, the Los Angeles Police Department reported that officers responded to his home in the West Hills area of the San Fernando Valley. According to NBC4, Jackson allegedly tried to grab a phone from a woman because he believed he was being recorded, and the woman was found to have scratches on her arm.
Jackson has served as the Rams’ starting left tackle for the last three seasons, appearing in 45 regular-season games and six playoff contests. The former undrafted free agent signed a new three-year contract worth $57 million with the team back in February 2025.
Following the arrest, the Rams released a statement saying the organization was aware of the situation “and we take these matters very seriously. Due to this being an ongoing legal situation, we cannot comment further at this time.”
