"Police on Jan. 13 told Pearce to stay away from his ex-girlfriend's home, according to police records obtained by ESPN. The early February ramming incident culminated in Pearce's arrest on felony battery and stalking charges. Jackson's attorneys subsequently filed a court notice saying that she is "willing to testify" against Pearce if the domestic violence charges against him go to trial."
"Police officers were repeatedly dispatched to a residence in Doral described as the home of Pearce's on-again, off-again girlfriend between November and the day of Pearce's arrest. The name or names of those who made the calls to police were redacted, and no arrests were made during the seven listed police visits to the residence."
"During a visit on the evening of Jan. 28, the woman residing there identified Pearce as the subject of the domestic disturbance complaint and told police she did not want him to enter the home, a police incident report says. The woman said she was "in fear" after the door of the residence became damaged. She said she occasionally shared the residence with Pearce."
James Pearce Jr., a linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons, faces felony battery and stalking charges following an alleged February incident where he rammed his Lamborghini SUV into WNBA player Rickea Jackson's vehicle in Doral, Florida. Prior to this incident, police records reveal at least seven 911 calls made between November and February from Pearce's on-again, off-again girlfriend reporting stalking, harassment, and alleged break-in attempts at her residence. Police issued a stay-away order on January 13. The girlfriend told officers she feared further incidents and left her home for a hotel. Jackson's attorneys indicated her willingness to testify against Pearce if the case proceeds to trial. The Falcons organization declined to comment on the matter.
