Overview
- Jackson’s attorneys filed a Marsy’s Law notice stating she is willing to testify and urged the court to devote resources to conclude the matter promptly.
- Pearce, 22, was released on about $20,500 bond and is under a pretrial stay-away order from Jackson following his Feb. 7 arrest in Doral, Florida.
- The affidavit says Pearce followed Jackson, tried to enter her car at a red light, then repeatedly struck her vehicle, fled from officers, hit an officer’s knee with his SUV, crashed, and resisted arrest before being detained.
- He faces two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated stalking, aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer, fleeing and eluding, and a misdemeanor resisting charge.
- The NFL said the matter will be reviewed under its personal conduct policy as the Falcons limit public comment; court records indicate two related criminal cases and no initial hearing date set yet.
