Las Vegas PD Officer and Chandler Jones (via TMZ)

The NFL is known as one of the most entertaining sports leagues in the world. Its star players are connected to each other in many different ways. Chandler Jones has been considered as such during his NFL career.

The last team the controversial defender played with was the Las Vegas Raiders, where he enjoyed some moderate success throughout the 2022 and 2023 NFL seasons. However, his career has since been in a rough spot.

Jones ran into some problematic legal troubles last season, as back in November of 2023, the defense end was confronted by Las Vegas police who were trying to bring him to a mental facility following a court-ordered mental health petition.

Not only was Jones acting erratically during the police altercation, but footage obtained by TMZ shows he also attempted to call his friend and former NFL star quarterback Tom Brady. It seemed he had hopes that Brady could help diffuse the situation.

In the body cam footage, a police officer can be seen walking up to a female on Jones’ property before the 34-year-old emerges from his home in his underwear. Before breaking down in tears, Jones rambled on about the woman in the driveway.

Jones claimed he didn’t want to be in trouble before the officer told the defensive what was happening. After being told people were concerned for his mental health, Jones was immediately upset and told officers to “get the F*** out.”

Before attempting to run away from officers and engaging in a scuffle, Jones tried to call his UFC star brother, Jon Jones, but he was unavailable. Following the ordeal, he attempted to call former NFL teammate Tom Brady, who also didn’t answer.

After much deliberation and argument with law enforcement, Jones eventually agreed to go with the cops. In 2023, after part of the video was released, he was forced to respond to the incident through his Instagram page.
