Former Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones has landed in hot water in Las Vegas again, according to TMZ.

The ex-NFL standout was arrested again, marking the second time in less than three weeks that police played Jones behind bars.

Chandler Jones, who was a 1st round pick by the Patriots back in the 2012 Draft, seems to have hit a rough patch recently, leading to the Raiders to release him a few weeks back. The exact details of what’s been going on remain somewhat unknown, but he’s been posting some rather unsettling messages online and recently shared a concerning video.

According to available records, Jones was booked on charges of violating a domestic violence temporary protection order. As of Wednesday morning, he was still under arrest, according to the TMZ report.

The specifics of the arrest are still shrouded in mystery, with no further information readily at hand.

Jones was arrested for two counts of the same offense on Sept. 29. This was after authorities claimed he ventured into a woman’s home, snatched some of her belongings from her backyard, and then proceeded to set the items ablaze while being “completely nude inside his own backyard.”

Hopefully he finds the help he seems to need.
