Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones has been in the news a lot lately. His social media antics have drawn a lot of attention. He has accused Josh McDaniels, Marc Davis, and many others of wild wrongdoing. He claimed that he was taken against his will to a hospital before being released. The saga continues as Jones was arrested on Thursday.
Las Vegas Raiders Chandler Jones Arrested
Jones was arrested around midnight according to a report from TMZ. The exact details of the arrest are unclear but sources say that the defensive end violated a protective order so the police responded and arrested him. All indications are that he went willingly and did not cause any problems when he was taken into custody.
A Sad Situation
This is a really sad situation. Something is wrong with Jones and the hope now is that he can get the help he needs. With how public this has been, many players have shown support for trying to get Jones help. Seeing as he has been very active on social media, chances are we will get Jones’ side of the story at some point. However, with all of the strange stories he has thrown out on social media (and then in certain cases walked back the comments), it is hard to know what is real and what is not.
The Raiders will most likely work something out with Chandler Jones to release him at this point. The worry now goes beyond football. Jones needs some help and the hope is that this arrest is a wake-up call for him to seek assistance.
