Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson, arrested on June 9 on suspicion of felony domestic violence, is assigned to a pre-filing diversion program that may allow him to avoid criminal charges, according to multiple reports. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, Ivor Pine, confirms that Jackson’s case has been placed with the office for consideration under the diversion process. Pre-filing diversion is described as an alternative to misdemeanor criminal prosecution through a city attorney hearing for eligible individuals.
Reporting also indicates that Jackson could be able to resolve the matter without a formal criminal charge if he completes the requirements of the diversion program. The Athletic additionally notes Jackson is entering the second season of a three-year contract with the Rams.
The sources agree on the key details of the arrest, the diversion assignment, and the potential to avoid charging through the city attorney’s process. They do not provide additional specifics about the underlying allegations beyond the initial felony domestic violence suspicion.
