DORAL, Fla. — The Doral Police Department has released body camera video from the February arrest of Atlanta Falcons linebacker James Pearce Jr.

Police say Pearce repeatedly resisted their orders before taking off, allegedly leading officers on a chase that ended when he crashed his vehicle.

Pearce was arrested following a domestic dispute with WNBA star Rickea Jackson, according to authorities.

He was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated stalking, and fleeing police.

Pearce has since agreed to enter a six-month intervention program to avoid taking the case to trial.
