Overview
- James Pearce Jr., who entered a six-month pretrial intervention program Thursday, can have all charges dismissed if he completes it.
- Program terms include therapy, a no-contact requirement with Rickea Jackson, random testing, and staying out of legal trouble, with no jail time or admission of guilt if completed.
- He faces three felonies—aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing and eluding, and resisting an officer with violence—and a misdemeanor stalking charge from a Feb. 7 incident in Doral, Florida.
- Prosecutors reached the agreement after consulting Doral police and Jackson, and a May 7 court appearance is expected to finalize the arrangement.
- The NFL says the case remains under personal conduct review, which allows discipline without a conviction, and the Falcons have kept Pearce out of voluntary workouts.
