NFL Star Chandler Jones Claims He Was Forcefully Admitted To A Mental Hospital & Administered Unknown Substance
The 33-year-old NFL player claimed the incident occurred after officials informed him that “people were concerned about me because of my online posts.”
“I answered my front door,” Jones said Monday evening on his X page in what appeared to be pictures of recent journal entries, “and a group of 5 to 7 were there to put me in an ambulance where I was later injected and I asked them not to.”

He claims he was then transported to Seven Hills Behavioral Health Hospital, where he claims personnel “tried to force” him to take further “meds and injections.”
The former New England Patriot said that the Las Vegas Police Department directed fire authorities to detain him after placing a “court hold” on the Super Bowl-winning defensive end for a “concerning” internet remark.

“I hadn’t done anything wrong,” Jones wrote.
“My first night I slept on the floor and was not offered a bed,” he said … adding, “I’m still confused on what I did wrong. I’m stuck here. I’m very sane.”
Jones writes in his notes that he sought to contact the Raiders “for help,” but has yet to hear back.
He also said he’s continuing to work out despite the facility’s conditions.

Despite all he supposedly went through over the last week, Jones said that it didn’t stop him from working out to keep in shape.
“All I know is whoever put me here had bad intentions. I’m to (sic) strong of a person to be mentally broken. For all of my friends that know me, THEY KNOW!!!”
