In a newly released video of his most recent arrest, Chandler Jones displayed more yet bizarre, erratic behavior while being taken into custody.
Last week, the former Raiders, Cardinals and Patriots star was arrested for the second time in less than three weeks on charges of violating a domestic violence temporary protection order.
He had been arrested on the same charges on Sept. 29 after being taken into custody by police outside of his former girlfriend’s house, but was released.
During that Sept. 29 arrest, Chandler Jones continued to exhibit some of the bizarre behavior he had been displaying when he first made news for accusing Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels of having Aaron Hernandez murdered at an industrial park.
In police video obtained by TMZ, Jones made numerous nonsensical statements to the arresting officers.
“I want you to grab me and take me out,” Jones told the officer while still seated inside his Mercedes. “Please.”
At another point, Jones said to police, “I’m sorry about this. The reason why I’m here is because I was taking out her trash, and I was just dropping off the dumpster in the backseat. No problem.”
The 33-year-old would later ask the officers at various times to take off his hat, itch his nose and pull up his shirt.
When he was finally taken into custody and being placed into the police car, Chandler Jones told the cops, “Look at me. I’m 6’5. I’m a professional athlete, bro. I have 112 sacks. I play for the Raiders.”
Once inside the patrol car, Jones asked the officers if “the county” had Dasani or Aquafina water.
He also informed the arresting officers that he wouldn’t sue them because “I’m a millionaire.”
On Oct. 17, Jones was once again arrested after, according to the police report, violating the domestic violence temporary protection order two more times, once on Oct. 11 and again on Oct. 16, for sending messages to his former girlfriend via Instagram.
In September, prior to his first arrest, Chandler Jones was the subject of a wellness check and claimed in a three-page handwritten note that he was forced into a mental hospital against his will and “injected with (I don’t know what).”
KLAS News reports that Jones’ case is set for a status check in court on Dec. 4.
