NFL Players arrest thread


ESPN’s Marc Raimondi received more information from the state attorney’s office involved in the case, and the latest details are awfully disturbing. So, continue to read at your own discretion.

Rickea Jackson told authorities that Pearce encountered her vehicle at a red light, got out of his Lamborghini SUV and tried to enter her vehicle. As Jackson drove away, Pearce followed her vehicle and purposely caused a collision to prevent her from reaching the police station:

“Jackson accelerated away and started driving toward the Doral (Florida) Police Department. Pearce reentered his vehicle and continued following her. During the drive to the police station, Jackson said Pearce “intentionally collided into the rear of her vehicle” with his SUV. As she got to the intersection near the police station, Jackson said Pearce cut her off with his car and when she attempted to back out and get away, he used his car to collide with hers head-on.”



Jackson also told authorities that she recently ended their three-year relationship and blocked his phone number. However, Pearce continued messaging her with another number, even though Jackson had told him to leave her alone.

According to the affidavit, one of the officers on the scene drew their gun and told Pearce to get on the ground. Pearce ignored the order and drove away, leading police on a high-speed chase.

James Pearce Jr.’s vehicle hit one of the officers in the knee as he drove away. Police caught up with Pearce after his vehicle crashed, but the rookie linebacker allegedly “began to resist arrest by tensing his arms and not allowing officers to apprehend him.”

Pearce, who led all NFL rookies with 10.5 sacks this season, was later examined at a local medical center and faces multiple charges, including counts of aggravated stalking and aggravated battery.

More to come.
