City Attorney Declines to File Charges Against Rams' Alaric Jackson

Prosecutors routed the matter into a City Attorney Hearing, a pre‑filing diversion that keeps the case open and offers alternatives to misdemeanor prosecution.

Overview

  • Police arrested Alaric Jackson after a late‑night dispute at his West Hills home on June 8, and officers reported a woman with scratch marks on her arms.
  • The woman obtained a temporary restraining order on June 10, but her attorney later asked a judge to dissolve that order and the court disposed the matter.
  • The Los Angeles City Attorney told reporters on July 8 that it will not file criminal charges 'at this time' and has assigned the case to a City Attorney Hearing.
  • A City Attorney Hearing is a pre‑filing diversion that can require classes, restitution, or community service and leaves the file open for possible re‑evaluation during the statute of limitations.
  • The NFL and the Rams can still conduct independent reviews and possible discipline, and Jackson’s prior two‑game suspension in 2024 and his recent $57 million extension raise the reputational and roster stakes.
