Indianapolis Colts linebacker D’Qwell Jackson was arrested for assault in D.C. Tuesday night. Sources confirm Jackson was arrested and issued a citation for allegedly punching a pizza delivery in the face and in the back of the head over a parking spot.
The 31-year-old pizza delivery employee told police he said to Jackson that he was going to use the space momentarily, but Jackson allegedly got upset and told the driver to get the “expletive” out of his parking space before punching the driver in his face and on the back of his head.
Jackson is the linebacker whose interception of New England Patriot’s Tom Brady pass allegedly started DeflateGate.
A spokesperson for the Colts tells ABC 7 that the team is aware of Jackson’s arrest, but has nothing further at this point.
Jackson played for the University of Maryland before being selected by the Cleveland Browns in the second round of the 2006 NFL draft. He played for the team through the 2013 season. He was signed by the Colts as a free agent in March 2014.
