Rams left tackle Jackson assigned to pre-filing diversion and can avoid
domestic violence charge
LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson, who was
arrested on June 9 on suspicion of felony domestic violence, has the
opportunity to avoid criminal charges.
Los Angeles City Attorney's Office spokesman Ivor Pine confirmed in a statement
to The Associated Press on Monday that Jackson's case has been assigned for a
pre-filing diversion available to eligible individuals. The City Attorney
Hearing is an alternative to misdemeanor criminal prosecution.
Though charges will not be filed against Jackson at this time, the case remains
open and can be re-evaluated if there are more developments.
At the time of the arrest, the Los Angeles Police Department said officers were
called to Jackson's home in the West Hills neighborhood of the San Fernando
Valley. NBC4 reported that Jackson allegedly attempted to take a phone away
from a woman when he thought he was being recorded, and the woman had scratches
on her arm.
Jackson has been the Rams' starting left tackle for the past three seasons,
starting 45 regular-season games and six playoff games. The former undrafted
free agent re-signed with the Rams on a three-year, $57 million deal in
February 2025.
The Rams issued a statement following the arrest saying the team was aware of
the incident "and we take these matters very seriously. Due to this being an
ongoing legal situation, we cannot comment further at this time."
