NFL facing a domestic violence epidemic this offseason with arrest of Rams lineman the latest case

Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson was arrested Monday night on suspicion of felony domestic violence as the NFL’s offseason domestic violence problem has begun growing to epidemic proportions.Jackson, 27, joins the growing list of current and former NFL players who this offseason have run afoul of the law and been arrested, charged, tried or sued in civil court over domestic violence allegations.It is a problem Fox News Digital asked the NFL to address on Tuesday. The league so far has not answered the request for comment.FORMER JETS FIRST-ROUND PICK DARRON LEE CHARGED WITH MURDER IN GIRLFRIEND’S DEATHJackson, the Rams’ starting left tackle the past three seasons, was taken into custody after Los Angeles police assigned to Topanga Area responded to a radio call of a “battery domestic violence” incident on the 7400 block of Cliffside Court in West Hills, the LAPD told Fox News Digital.Officers learned the player and a woman had gotten into a verbal argument because Jackson believed the woman was recording him with her phone, according to KNBC-TV. The 6-foot-7, 338-pounder took the phone out of her hands.Police said the woman had scratch marks on her arms.Jackson was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence and bail was set at $50,000.
