NY Post
Atlanta Falcons rookie James Pearce Jr. allegedly crashed his white Lamborghini SUV into a vehicle being driven by Los Angeles Sparks forward Rickea Jackson twice before he struck a police officer “intentionally in an attempt to evade arrest” during his arrest in Doral, Fla. Saturday morning, according to the criminal complaint obtained by ESPN.
Jackson, who told police that she and Pearce recently broke up after three years together, claimed he was following her in his vehicle Saturday — adding that she sped away when Pearce exited his vehicle and attempted to get into hers while at a red light.
The WNBA star said Pearce rear-ended her car and hit her head-on while she was driving toward the Doral (Florida) Police Department.
Photographs of Jackson’s vehicle showed damage consistent with her account, according to the affidavit from the Miami-Dade County state attorney’s office said.
Pearce was charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, along with one count of aggravated stalking and fleeing or eluding police with lights and siren, according to jail records viewed by The Post.
According to the affidavit, Pearce was standing outside of his vehicle when police arrived at the scene — and an officer pointed a gun at him and ordered him to to get on the ground.
