Rams’ Alaric Jackson Not Facing Felony Charges After June Arrest

A City Attorney pre-filing diversion keeps the file open and preserves a path to non-criminal resolution while leaving league discipline possible.

Overview

  • Jackson, who was arrested on June 8 after police responded to a dispute at his West Hills home, was booked on an allegation of corporal injury and released on $50,000 bail.
  • Los Angeles prosecutors declined to pursue a felony and the City Attorney assigned the case to a pre-filing diversion on Monday, so no misdemeanor charges were filed at this time.
  • Police reports reviewed by local outlets say officers found scratch marks on the woman’s arm and that Jackson allegedly tried to take a phone from her during the encounter.
  • The diversion can offer alternatives such as classes, restitution, or community service but keeps the case open, and the NFL may still investigate under its personal conduct policy.
  • Jackson is the Rams’ starting left tackle on a multi-year deal and carries a prior two-game NFL suspension from 2024, so any league punishment or changes to the diversion could affect his availability and the team’s plans for 2026.
