Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones wrote in a social media post Monday night that he was taken to a hospital "against my will" by the Las Vegas Fire Department and later transferred to a behavioral health facility last week.
Jones was placed on the non-football illness list last week by the Raiders with what the team has described as a personal matter. He has been away from the team since Labor Day weekend when he began a series of social media posts aimed at the Raiders, owner Mark Davis, general manager Dave Ziegler and coach Josh McDaniels.
He wrote in his post to X on Monday night, "First day out but I'm still aligned," indicating that Monday was his first day out of the facility. He attached journal entries plus a statement of "patient rights" from the Seven Hills Behavioral Health Hospital in Las Vegas, highlighting sections of the document he believes were not followed by the facility.
In the journal entries, Jones said that "5 to 7" Las Vegas Fire Department officials came to his front door and told him he had been put on a "court hold" by the Las Vegas Police Department.
"I haven't done anything wrong. The police said people were concerned about me because of my posts online," he wrote, adding that once in an ambulance he was "injected" with an undisclosed substance even though he didn't give consent.
He said he was taken to Southern Hills Hospital in Las Vegas and "then transferred to Seven Hills where they tried to force me to take meds & injections."
Jones wrote that he called Ziegler "6 to 7 times asking for help and I wondered if he had me put in here, but he never answered."

This is the problem with todays society... You can’t keep the lunatics locked up, even if they are lunatics.
It’s time to change the law... Mental people should be hospitalized and treated for their problems... Not released into the general population to cause havoc.
Id like to read his tweets before Making a call on this one.
The shot was because of his size. you wouldn't want the see him angry.
This guy is hospitalizing you for your mental well-being.
What did Chandler do to be classified as a lunatic who needs to be kept locked up?
Why should you not be classified as a lunatic who needs to be kept locked up?
He spoke out against the establishment. So he needed to be locked up until he could be re-educated or drugged into a stupor.
Mess with the folks in charge at your own risk.
How would the late Charlie O’Finley handle him? Think Reggie Jackson, Vida Blue, and that big trade w/Boston the commissioner vetoed.
If the fire department comes to take you away there’s a lot more to the story than he’s saying.
In a sane society, yes. In ours, this would become Political Weapon #1 used against the state's opponents.
I suspect more likely its a freedom of speech issue.
He said something someone else didn’t like.
“First day out but I’m still aligned,”
He’s ready to print?
I am completely sane and have been all of my life...
Chandler Jones on the other hand is a paranoid schizophrenic and has been for several years. Sadly, it appears within the young adult population and it isn’t being dealt with by authorities.
Instead they are being coddled and offered help, but if they don’t want help and refuse it... Then they end up on the streets with a shopping cart full of their worldly goods, which they must protect because everybody is out to get them... (That’s the paranoid part) and they are like ticking timebombs waiting to stab some random stranger for absolutely nothing.
We need to control our mentally ill population. We used to do it, but the lefty do gooder’s decided that we were being too mean, and that it would be better to let the mentally ill patients decide what their treatment should be.
That was a societal mistake. It’s a problem that will continue to grow, and it has already gotten well out of hand.
