While the Colts' season ended in early January after a loss to the New England Patriots, Jackson went on to appear in the Pro Bowl game in Hawaii last weekend. Prior to signing with the Colts, Jackson was a linebacker for the Cleveland Browns. His current five-year deal with the Colts is worth a reported $22 million.
In a second report, via WJLA, it was reported Jackson became upset after the delivery man took his parking spot. Although the man was said to have told Jackson he would only be a minute, the athlete allegedly turned violent, striking the man in the face and head.
Following Jackson's arrest, the Indianapolis Colts released the following statement:
"The Indianapolis Colts have been made aware that D'Qwell Jackson was charged yesterday in Washington, DC with a count of simple assault. When the Club learns more of the surrounding facts, it will make an appropriate statement."
