GREENVILLE, NC (WITN) – Documents from the Los Angeles County District Attorney said there was $20,000 in damages to an apartment building where Zay Jones was arrested earlier this week.
The former ECU football player and current Buffalo Bills player was taken into custody Monday night by L.A. police.
The D.A.’s office says “The case has been declined due to insufficient evidence.”
Jones was arrested Monday night in Los Angeles after officers were sent to 900 South Figueroa Street around 11:20 p.m. their time because a man was breaking glass doors and windows.
He was taken into custody and booked for felony vandalism.
A charge evaluation worksheet from the D.A.’s office says officers were told by Jones’ brother that the man “had become agitated”. Jones was covered in blood, according to police.
The worksheet says the owners of the apartment building didn’t want to press charges, and that Jones’ family had “assumed financial responsibility for the damages.” It says the apartment building would not provide officers with an invoice for the damages.
TMZ released a video of the what happened and it shows Jones struggling with his brother Cayleb, who was reportedly trying to prevent Jones from jumping out of a 30th floor window.
The D.A.’s office says the TMZ video was captured by another resident’s doorbell surveillance camera.
The worksheet ends by saying the case is dismissed “as there is insufficient evidence to prove ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ that the suspect acted with malice and, without victim cooperation, the amount of loss cannot be determined.”
