MIAMI GARDENS, FL — Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson was reportedly arrested in Florida over the weekend.
According to a report from Andy Slater, a Miami area sports reporter, Jackson was attending a music festival when he attempted to access a VIP area.
Jackson was reportedly told several times that he was not allowed in the area, but refused to leave.
Jackson was allegedly told to sit on a golf cart and stay still by an officer after the incident, but got up and ran away.
A foot pursuit began and eventually backup officers caught up to Jackson and took him into custody.
Court records show Jackson has been charged with a felony for escape and a misdemeanor for resisting an officer.
Jackson was given a $1,000 bond, according to court records.
The 22-year-old Jackson was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the fourth pick in the 2017 NBA draft.
The Phoenix Suns did not immediately return a request for comment.
