It looked like a nice end to a nice season for Raiders Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs, whose 89 yards rushing and two touchdowns helped his team win their season finale vs. the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Hours later, things took a turn.
After returning home to Las Vegas, Jacobs was involved in a single-car crash at 4:42 a.m. Monday morning, near the McCarran Airport Connector and East Sunset Road, according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN. Jacobs was taken to the hospital to receive treatment for minor injuries related to the crash, and then transported to the Clark County Detention Center, where he was booked for DUI.
Jacobs was released and has a court appearance set for March 8 according to Fox 5 Vegas. Jacobs will plead not guilty to the DUI charge according to his lawyers.
“No complaint has been filed against our client and there are no blood test results to support a suggestion of impairment,” Jacobs’ attorneys David Z. Chesnoff and Richard A. Schonfeld said in a statement. “We intend to enter a not guilty plea on behalf of Mr. Jacobs if he is ever charged.”
The Raiders also released a statement on Monday.
“The Raiders are aware of the situation involving Josh Jacobs,” the team said. “The organization takes these matters seriously and we have no further comment at this time.”
