Raiders continuing back Josh Jacobs was charged with failure to exercise due care in the aftermath of a single-car accident that occurred last week in Las Vegas. The second-year back was booked belief suspicion of driving under the influence when he got into that accident near McCarran International Airport at throughout 4:42 a.m. local time, according to reports. Jacobs suffered little injuries in the accident. While officers may have suspected Jacobs to be belief the influence, an investigation revealed he was belief the legal limit.
"Our client Josh Jacobs was alive to in a single vehicle accident on the morning of January 4th in Las Vegas, NV and waited minor injuries, including a laceration to his forehead," Jacobs' attorney notorious in a statement obtained by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Contrary to early mediate reports, Josh was never charged with a DUI. After an extensive reconsider of the evidence, the Clark County District Attorney's office recorded a Complaint this morning only charging Josh with failure to exercise due care. Josh appreciates the district attorney's thorough and negated review of the accident and we would like to thank the EMS and law enforcement at the scene."
Due care law largely centers throughout preventing accidents while behind the wheel of a vehicle, which Jacobs has been deemed to be in violation of following this accident. That said, Clark Utters District Attorney Steve Wolfson noted in his statement that Jacobs' blood alcohol aloof was now above the legal limit.
