Chandler Jones was arrested for recording himself stealing items from his ex-partner’s front yard

She obtained a restraining order against him, and he apparently snapped. He came to her home multiple times, taking stuff and then sending her snaps of the items in flames in his backyard.

New details have emerged on an incident involving Las Vegas Raiders DE Chandler Jones, whose disturbing recent behavior culminated in his arrest Friday morning. Jones has been away from the team for several weeks and has been very active on social media, making accusations against the team, along with Raiders owner Mark Davis, head coach Josh McDaniels, and general manager Dave Ziegler.

Las Vegas police allegedly arrested Chandler Jones for stealing items from outside his ex-girlfriend’s house and burning them in her backyard, according to Dov Kleiman. The woman filed a temporary restraining order against Jones on Thursday. Jones began messaging her on Snapchat and went to her house at least two times, violating the order. Security cameras at the woman’s house caught him in the act, and Jones also sent her videos of him burning her property.

There has been growing concern for Jones’ mental health due to peculiar behavior on social media. In one video, he spent about 25 minutes talking about a variety of topics before breaking down in tears when discussing Aaron Hernandez’s death, whom he referred to as “Chico.”

Monday, in a since-deleted post of a handwritten journal entry, he said he was taken to a hospital “against my will” by the Las Vegas Fire Department a week prior. He wrote that Las Vegas police were on hand when the firefighters arrived.

The Raiders said in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the team is “hopeful that Chandler Jones receives the care that he needs. He, his family, and all those involved are in our thoughts. As this is now a legal matter, we will not be providing further comment.”

Owner Mark Davis did not respond to a text request for comment.
