Overview
- In early June police arrested Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson after officers responded to a dispute at his West Hills home and reported scratch marks on a woman’s arms.
- The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office said it will not file criminal charges “at this time” and has placed the case in a City Attorney Hearing, a pre-filing diversion used instead of immediate misdemeanor prosecution.
- Under the diversion process the file remains open and officials say Jackson may be offered alternatives such as classes, restitution, or community service rather than formal charges, and the matter can be re-evaluated later.
- The NFL can still open its own investigation and impose discipline under the league’s Personal Conduct Policy without a criminal conviction, and Jackson has a prior two-game suspension from 2024 for a separate conduct violation.
- Jackson’s status matters to the Rams’ roster and finances because he is a multi-year starter under a sizable contract, and observers will watch for any league action or further legal developments before training camp.
