Rams offensive tackle Alaric Jackson arrested on domestic violence allegations; woman seeks restraining order
Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Alaric Jackson was arrested Tuesday after a woman accused him of physical assault during a dispute at their shared home on Monday. The woman, who says she is pregnant with Jackson's child, filed for a domestic violence restraining order Wednesday alleging he grabbed her phone, damaged her belongings, and caused injuries; she also claims prior incidents of violence. The case involves a high-profile NFL player under contract with the Rams and raises questions about the team's response to domestic violence allegations.
Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Alaric Jackson was arrested Tuesday following allegations of domestic violence. According to a court filing obtained by media outlets, a 38-year-old woman claims Jackson became physical with her on Monday at their West Hills residence during an argument over her phone. The woman, who states she is 6.5 months pregnant with Jackson's planned child, alleges he struggled with her for the phone, broke her headphones, threw them over a yard, and took her keys. She reported suffering bruises, cuts, and scratches during the altercation. In her Wednesday filing for a domestic violence restraining order, she also alleged two prior incidents—on March 17 and May 19—involving biting, financial control, property damage, passport confiscation, lock changes, and verbal threats. An emergency protective order was granted by the Los Angeles Police Department following Jackson's arrest. The woman requested a 100-yard restraining order and that Jackson vacate their home and cover rent and bills. Jackson, a 27-year-old offensive tackle who signed a three-year, $57 million contract extension with the Rams in March 2025, has been with the team since 2021. The Rams stated they are aware of the incident and taking it seriously but declined further comment pending the legal process.

The U.S. Central Command confirmed conducting precision strikes in the area, though it remains unclear whether the U.S. intentionally targeted the water infrastructure or was aware of its purpose.
