New Details Emerge on Jaguars CB Chris Claybrooks' Arrest
Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Chris Claybrooks was arrested in Jacksonville on Friday afternoon following a felony charge of false imprisonment and a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery.
According to a source with direct knowledge of the situation, the incident in question dates back to Sept. 22, 2022 at 12:10 a.m. -- just days before the Jaguars played the Los Angeles Chargers on the road.
According to the source, the victim alleges that the two argued and the victim attempted to leave the residence. The victim stated that Claybrooks then allegedly grabbed her around her torso and prevented the victim from leaving by physically blocking her exit. The source says the alleged incident was also caught on video surveillance.
Claybrooks is due in court at 9 a.m. on Saturday in Duval County. Claybrooks turned himself into Duval County Jail alongside his counsel on Friday.
“We are aware of the arrest of Chris Claybrooks and are currently in the process of gathering information. We will have no further comment at this time," a Jaguars spokesperson said in a released statement.
This is the second domestic incident that Claybrooks has been attached to in the last several months, with the first occurring in mid-April. The two incidents are not directly related.
Claybrooks was arrested in Nashville on April 15 and was charged with domestic assault with bodily injury and vandalism under $1,000. He was accused of grabbing a cell phone from a woman’s hand and damaging it by throwing it to the ground.
Claybrooks was not prosecuted for the Nashville incident, as online court records show the charges were dropped.
Claybrooks, 26, was drafted by the Jaguars in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He has appeared in 48 games with the Jaguars, including 19 last season.
