Atlanta Falcons rookie standout James Pearce Jr. was arrested late Saturday in Miami after police said he fled from officers and later crashed his vehicle following an alleged domestic dispute with WNBA player Rickea Jackson, according to the Associated Press.
Pearce, a first-round draft pick who led the Falcons in sacks and finished third in NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year voting, was taken into custody and booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center after Doral police responded to a report of a domestic dispute between a man and a woman, according to the AP.
