Ex-NFL player Myles Jack arrested in Texas on weapons charge

Myles Jack was charged with a third-degree felony and a Class A misdemeanor after firing a gun inside a residence during a welfare check, police said.

  • On Dec. 16, former NFL linebacker Myles Jack was arrested in Frisco after police say he reportedly fired a gun inside a residence and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
  • A welfare check in Frisco prompted officers to respond and assess the scene at the 2400 block of Haft River Road at about 5:40 a.m., where police reported hearing gunshots.
  • Police reported seeing a second-story window break and the person later identified as Jack climb out and fall, and the residence searched by police yielded no other occupants.
  • The Frisco Police Department announced felony and misdemeanor firearm charges against Myles Jack, including deadly conduct—discharge of a firearm ; La Sonjia Jack, family spokesperson, asked for patience and expressed concern for Frisco neighbors via attorney Chris Lewis.
  • His roles as a former NFL player and team owner add public scrutiny to the case, with Jack having played for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers , retiring in 2023, and becoming majority owner of the Allen Americans in 2023.
