New police video, obtained by TMZ Sports Activitiesreveals that in a confrontation with police in 2023, Chandler Jones tried to invent Tom Brady — in the hope that the quarterback could help diffuse a tense situation.
The heated encounter between the former NFL star and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office happened last year on Nov. 27 … after authorities attempted to take Jones to a medical facility in Arizona following a court-ordered mental health petition.
Camera footage worn by responding officers initially reveals that they had difficulty getting Jones to come out of his Arizona mansion to speak to them. However, when they spoke to one of Jones’ female acquaintances outside the home — Chandler emerged from his storage room wearing nothing but his underwear.
Jones rambled to officers about the woman in his driveway for several minutes — accusing her dog of biting him. When asked if he needed to press charges, he declined… and shortly after, he began sobbing.
He tearfully instructed police that he didn’t want her to get into trouble — but when an officer tried to talk to him about the concerns people were having for his well-being, his demeanor immediately changed.
Jones can be heard on the video telling the officer, “get the hell out… get the hell out of here.” The 2-time All-Pro then retreated inside.
Minutes later, Jones resurfaced… and sat down as officers tried to see if he would willingly see a doctor. Jones said he wouldn’t — and then asked if he could call his UFC celebrity brother. Jon Jones.
Chandler didn’t appear to show up with Jon — and after a few extra minutes of pacing outside his residence… a police officer said to him, “Mr. Jones, we need to talk about why we’re here now.”
Jones then appeared to attempt to flee, and a fight ensued. The officers and Chandler struggled in the background for a few moments, however, they eventually handcuffed the ticket collector and instructed him that they were going to take him to a doctor based on the court order they had obtained.
On one level, though, Chandler asked if he could call someone… and officials allowed him to use his iPad. Chandler first tried calling Brady — his former teammate in New England — however, it appears the QB didn’t answer.
Chandler was able to get the horn back a little later from one of his deputies — after which the cops decided they were going to take Chandler away. When Chandler once again stated that he didn’t want to go, he brought up the name of his former Raiders head coach, Josh McDanielsin your response.
After a few extra minutes of extra back and forth, Chandler finally got up and walked with the officers to a police car. According to police documents we obtained, he was transported to a nearby psychiatric unit “without further issues.”
Chandler addressed the incident in advance a video of part of the meeting on his Instagram page in December 2023.
Chandler — a 34-year-old former professional bowler — was minimize by Raiders just a few months before the incident. He hasn’t made a down in the NFL since.
