Former Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones was arrested in Las Vegas last Tuesday on one count of violating a temporary protection order for domestic violence, according to jail records.
This comes just a few weeks after Jones was arrested for two counts of the same charge on Sept. 29. In response, the Raiders released Jones.

According to the arrest record, an officer responded when an unnamed woman said Jones was having a mental health crisis and requested a welfare check. Officers said it didn’t seem he was having a mental health crisis, but upon further investigation found that he had violated the temporary protection order through messaging the protected party on Instagram.
Jones is being held at Clark County Detention Center on a $15,000 cash bail, according to jail records. A court date for the latest charge is set for Dec. 19. He already had a court date set for Dec. 4 for the previous charges.
The protection order that Jones has now allegedly violated three times was granted to an unnamed woman after an incident that occurred on Sept. 12, according to police documents obtained by The Athletic. On Sept. 12, officers responded to a report from a woman alleging she was a victim of domestic battery and that Jones, who she identified as her ex-boyfriend, was the offender, according to the report.
The woman said that Jones knocked on her door with a flashlight and no shoes on. She said he’d moved out of the residence in March, but she thought he was returning a vehicle he’d borrowed from her and opened her garage door. Jones opened the back door using a keypad while saying he was getting his shoes. When he went upstairs and tried to go into her room, she went to stop him and he shoved her into a railing, per the report.
She told police Jones was “rambling incoherently,” the report said, and she believed he was on drugs. He went downstairs and took his dog before leaving. When paramedics arrived, the woman refused care and said she was uninjured, but did report the domestic violence. The report stated that there are phone recordings and surveillance videos.
The protective order that was subsequently granted was valid from Sept. 14 through Dec. 13, according to the police report.
