Body-worn camera footage from responding officers shows, initially, they had a tough time getting Jones to come out of his Arizona mansion to speak with them. But, when they talked to one of Jones’ female acquaintances outside the home — Chandler appeared from his garage area wearing nothing but his underwear.
Jones rambled to officers about the woman in his driveway for several minutes — accusing her dogs of biting him. When asked if he wanted to press charges, he declined … and a short while later, he began sobbing.
He told police through tears he didn’t want her to be in trouble — but when one officer attempted to talk to him about concerns people were having for his well-being, his demeanor immediately changed.
Minutes later, Jones reemerged … and sat down as cops were trying to see if he’d willingly go see a doctor. Jones said he wouldn’t — and then asked if he could call his brother, UFC superstar Jon Jones.
Jones then seemed to try to run away, and a scuffle ensued. The officers and Chandler wrestled on the ground for a few moments, but they ultimately got cuffs on the former pass rusher and told him they were going to take him to a doctor based on the court order they had received.
Chandler was able to get on the horn a short time later with one of his reps — and then cops explained they were going to take Chandler away. When Chandler said once more he didn’t want to go, he evoked the name of his former Raiders head coach, Josh McDaniels, in his response.
Chandler previously addressed the incident with a video of part of the encounter on his Instagram page in December 2023.
