US EditionProsecutors bring 3 felony charges against Falcons' James Pearce Jr. in domestic dispute
- On March 12, 2026, Miami‑Dade prosecutors filed felony charges against James Pearce Jr. related to the Feb. 7 incident, according to court documents.
- Reports show at least seven 911 calls indicated heightened fears from Jackson that she was being stalked, and she believed Pearce tried to break into her residence.
- A Doral police affidavit describes Pearce following Jackson, intentionally colliding with her vehicle and striking an officer in the left knee while fleeing. Police say Pearce approached Jackson's stopped car and attempted to open the door at a red light.
- The court ordered no contact and set a permanent injunction hearing on Tuesday, April 21, while the NFL will review Pearce under its personal conduct policy and one charge carries a minimum five-year sentence.
- Following filings, charges were adjusted as prosecutors reduced the aggravated stalking count to a misdemeanor, dropped the aggravated-battery-of-an-officer charge, and Jackson said she would testify.
