Former Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Myles Jack is facing felony gun charges in Fricso, Texas after getting arrested on Tuesday.
According to a Frisco Police Department news release, police responded to a welfare check at Jack’s residence at 5:40 AM local time on December 16th and heard gunshots from inside the residence. After setting up a perimeter and evacuating several other residences, police officers saw a second-story window break and a suspect – later identified as the 30-year-old Jack – climb out and fall to the ground.
Jack was arrested at 7:12 a.m. and taken to a local hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries, per the release. Police said no one else was inside the residence.
The Denton County Sheriff’s Office charged Jack with deadly conduct/discharge of a firearm, which is a third-degree felony, and misdemeanor discharge of a firearm in certain municipalities.
Jack played in 18 games over two seasons with the Steelers (2022-23) after playing six seasons with the Jaguars, who selected him with the 36th overall pick in 2016.
