Chargers CB J.C. Jackson Booked For Nonviolent ‘Family Issue’

Fall River (Mass.) Police arrested Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson on Monday, according to Bryan Lambert and Julianne Lima of Boston25News.com. This is believed to be a nonviolent matter; authorities are calling it a “family issue.”

Jackson, 27, was booked into the Bristol County Jail and House of Corrections on Monday afternoon, Daniel Popper of The Athletic tweets. The Chargers are gathering information on the matter. This arrest came after a probate court appearance, per Boston25News. It is not known if the fifth-year corner is being held on bail.

The Chargers signed Jackson to a five-year, $82.5MM deal in free agency, doing so after the Patriots passed on keeping the Pro Bowl cornerback via the franchise tag. An Immokalee, Fla., native, Jackson has been out of action since Week 7. Jackson, who played for the Patriots from 2018-21 and intercepted 25 passes during his time in New England, suffered a ruptured patellar tendon in October. The 6-foot-1 cover man also missed the Bolts’ opener because of a late-summer ankle surgery.

This arrest would stand to fall under the NFL’s personal conduct policy, which opens the door to a suspension. Though, without knowing the full nature of the situation, it should not be assumed Jackson will face a suspension.
