Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones was reportedly arrested Thursday night in Las Vegas, just a day after the NFL star’s bizarre behavior and strange allegations on social media.

Booked into Clark County Detention Center, Jones was charged with two counts of violating a domestic violence protective order, according to TMZ.

The Super Bowl champion took to social media Thursday, crying during an Instagram livestream and alleging that Raiders head coach Josh McDaniel — who was the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots — was involved in the death of Aaron Hernandez, one of Jones’ teammates in New England.

Hernandez committed suicide in prison in 2017.

The accusation from Jones came after he tweeted that he was forced into a mental hospital, then injected with a medication that he didn’t want to take.

As of Friday afternoon, Jones remains in police custody on $15,000 bond, the NY Post reported. The 33-year-old is due in court Dec. 4 of this year for the incident.

An 11-year NFL veteran, Jones is a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro. Currently with the Las Vegas Raiders, Jones hasn’t played a game this season. Previously, he played for the Patriots and Arizona Cardinals. (RELATED: Raiders’ Chandler Jones Makes Mysterious Implication Regarding Aaron Hernandez, Josh McDaniels In Bizarre Video)
