Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson found himself in police custody Monday evening following allegations of felony domestic violence at his San Fernando Valley home.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department responded to Jackson’s residence in the West Hills area after receiving a call. According to NBC4’s reporting, Jackson allegedly tried to grab a phone from a woman who he believed was recording him, leaving the woman with visible scratches on her arm.
The 27-year-old athlete has served as the team’s primary left tackle over the last three seasons, appearing in 45 regular-season contests and six postseason matchups. Jackson, who entered the league as an undrafted player, secured a lucrative three-year contract worth $57 million with the organization this past February.
Team officials released a statement addressing the situation: “We are aware of the incident regarding Alaric Jackson, and we take these matters very seriously. Due to this being an ongoing legal situation, we cannot comment further at this time.”
Jail records show Jackson was freed on a $50,000 bond during the early morning hours Tuesday. The district attorney’s office will now review the case to determine whether formal charges will be filed.
This marks another legal issue for Jackson during his five-year tenure with the franchise. The Canadian-American player initially served as a reserve player on the team’s championship squad during the 2021-22 campaign.
Jackson faced a civil lawsuit in the previous year from a woman claiming he secretly recorded intimate encounters without her permission. This matter resulted in a two-game suspension at the start of the 2024 season for violating the league’s personal conduct standards, though the specific reason remained confidential until the woman’s legal filing brought it to light.
The civil case was ultimately thrown out in April.
