Arrest
Alaric Jackson, the Los Angeles Rams’ left tackle, was arrested Monday night at his home in San Fernando Valley on suspicion of felony domestic violence.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed, stating the charge was for “a person who willfully inflicts corporal injury upon a victim”, which violates California’s Penal Code section 273.5.  According to California Public Law, this felony could be punished by imprisonment for up to four years.
According to NBC4, police were called to his home Monday night for an altercation. Jackson allegedly tried taking a woman’s phone out of her hand because he thought he was being recorded. According to investigators, the woman had scratch marks on her arms.
He was booked into jail early Tuesday morning around 4:30 a.m. PDT. He was then released on a $50,000 bond only a few hours later.
The Rams issued a statement to PEOPLE on Tuesday, that stated “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.”
According to LA Times, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is reviewing the case for potential charges, and his next court date is June 30.
Previous Legal Issues
Jackson has previously been involved in another legal issue and an NFL suspension in recent years.
In 2024, he was suspended the first two games of the season after violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. However, the NFL never disclosed details of the suspension.
Then in November of 2025, Jackson was sued by a woman alleging that he recorded her without consent during sex, according to ESPN. The lawsuit was filed Nov. 13 in Los Angeles Superior Court.
According to the lawsuit, the Philadelphia woman met him on Instagram and visited him in Los Angeles in May 2024 when the incident occurred. He then allegedly refused to delete the video, lied to her about it and sent it to her later, taunting her with it.
She did not pursue a criminal case; however, she did report the incident to the NFL, which may have been the reason for the two-game suspension in 2024.
Background
The 27-year-old was signed by the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 as an undrafted free agent from the University of Iowa.
The Rams recently re-signed him to a three-year, $57 million contract, with $37 million guaranteed on Feb. 28, 2025. He will be going into his sixth season with them.
