A six-month pretrial intervention program in Florida is expected to lead to the dismissal of all felony and misdemeanor charges against Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr. relating to a February domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend, WNBA player Rickea Jackson.

Florida prosecutors have charged Pearce with three felonies—aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing and eluding, and resisting an officer with violence—plus a misdemeanor stalking count tied to the same incident.

Pearce was arrested after allegedly stalking Jackson and causing a collision while pursuing her in a vehicle.

Initial reporting comes from NFL Trade Rumors sources with further updates expected as more information emerges.

The Falcons have been cautious, with coach Kevin Stefanski and executive Ian Cunningham noting ongoing contact with Pearce’s representatives.

Pearce has agreed to participate in the intervention program, though formal terms are not finalized until early May.

Resolution hinges on Pearce’s successful completion of mandated program requirements in Florida, a development Falcons fans are weighing for his draft prospects and potential impact.

Pearce’s attorneys confirmed the agreement, calling it a resolution that avoids further litigation and underscores his commitment to complying with all conditions.

The attorneys emphasized the arrangement is framed as a full resolution without additional court action.

Analysts see this development as a potential turning point for Pearce’s availability and value to the Falcons amid ongoing draft rumors.

The update is significant for Pearce’s legal status and NFL career, though more details are forthcoming in the coming months.

Doral Police and Falcons indicated awareness of the dispute and were gathering information, declining further comment at the time.
