Los Angeles Rams starting left tackle Alaric Jackson will not face felony charges after an arrest on suspicion of domestic battery in June. Jackson’s case was assigned for a pre-filing diversion, an alternative to misdemeanor criminal prosecution.
Background
According to the police report, Los Angeles police officers responded to Jackson’s home in the San Fernando Valley late on the night of June 8. Jackson engaged in a verbal argument with a woman and allegedly attempted to take a phone out of her hand after he felt she was recording the exchange. The woman had scratch marks on her arm following the alleged interaction.
Bail was set at $50,000, and Jackson was released from the jail in Van Nuys on bond. Jackson is the blind-side protector of star quarterback Matthew Stafford and has appeared in 57 career games since joining the Rams in 2021.
