FORMER AGGIE/SEALY TIGER RICKY SEALS-JONES ARRESTED
Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones, a native of Sealy who played college football at Texas A&M, was arrested on three charges after a scuffle ensued Saturday, when he was denied entrance to the W Hotel in Scottsdale to use a bathroom.
Seals-Jones was charged with assault, disorderly conduct and third-degree criminal trespassing after he pushed a member of the hotel's security team who was working at the front entrance of the hotel.
Police said Seals-Jones appeared to be intoxicated, with "bloodshot watery eyes," when he tried to enter the hotel through its main entrance to use the restroom but was told the hotel was open only to guests at that time.
According to police reports, Seals-Jones then "shoved" an employee, and that's when the hotel employees tackled Seals-Jones to the ground in an attempt to get him out of the hotel.
Seals-Jones, who was arrested at 1:35 a.m. and transported to a Scottsdale jail, was signed by the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He played in 10 games last season with one start and caught 12 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns.
He is a cousin of Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson.
