DeSean Jackson, seen during a game against the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 3, 2021, at SoFi Stadium, was waived by the Rams on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2021, after the wide receiver became disenchanted with his diminishing role with the team. is suing Los Angeles County and Ralphs Grocery Co., alleging his civil rights were violated when he was wrongfully arrested by a deputy sheriff in 2023 at a Ralphs store in Marina del Rey in connection with a car theft.
“Defendant Ralphs has a history of racially profiling African-American men as they shop in the store in violation of their civil rights,” the suit alleges.Jackson, now 37, went to the Ralphs store on Lincoln Boulevard on June 25, 2023 at about 6:30 p.m. and was grocery shopping when he was arrested by a deputy, who told the plaintiff his detention was “connected with a guy stealing from the store,” the suit states.
A Ralphs security guard knew the deputy was arresting the wrong person because the guard had a photo of the actual car theft suspect — whose only similarity to Jackson was that he also was Black — yet the guard did not intervene with the plaintiff being taken into custody, the suit states.
