6/9/2026, 9:56:22 PM
Incident Overview
Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson, 27, was arrested late Monday night, June 9 2026, after police responded to a domestic disturbance at his West Hills home. Investigators said Jackson believed a woman was recording him and tried to seize the phone; the woman had scratch marks on her arm. He was booked on suspicion of felony domestic violence (also reported as felony domestic battery) and released on $50,000 bail early Tuesday.
Background & Context
Jackson entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2021, became a starter by 2023, and signed a three-year extension in February 2025 worth roughly $57 million with $35-$37 million in guarantees. He served a two-game NFL suspension in August 2024 for a personal-conduct violation tied to a civil lawsuit filed by a “Jane Doe” in November 2025 alleging non-consensual recording during sex. One source says the lawsuit was dismissed on April 10 2025; another says it remains active with a July 30 2026 conference.
Data & Statistics
Jackson is listed at 6 ft 7 in and 338–340 lb (sources differ). Bail is $50,000. Career totals vary: Reuters lists 57 games (51 starts); other reports note 46 games (38 starts). He started all 16 regular-season games and three playoff contests in 2025.
Official Statements & Responses
The Rams said they are aware of the incident involving Jackson and take it seriously. An LAPD spokesperson confirmed the arrest on suspicion of felony domestic violence and said the case will be forwarded to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for review. The NFL has not issued a new comment beyond noting the 2024 suspension.
Criticism & Opposition
The civil suit alleges Jackson recorded a woman without consent, refused to delete the video, and taunted her with its existence. Those allegations, combined with the current arrest, have heightened scrutiny of his off-field behavior.

- Weight: 338 lb (several outlets) vs. 340 lb (Reuters).

Why It Matters / Impact
