Frisco police arrested former NFL player Myles Jack after a welfare check Tuesday morning, police said.
Officers responded to a welfare concern about 5:40 a.m. at a home in the 2400 block of Haft River Road, Frisco police said in a news release. When officers arrived, they heard gunshots from inside the residence.
Police said the officers set up a perimeter and evacuated several nearby residences to secure the area.
Officers then saw a man break a second-story window of the home, climb out and fall to the ground. The man was later identified as Jack, police said.
Jack, 30, was taken into custody at about 7 a.m. and taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries he got in his fall from the window, police said.
Police said no one else was found inside the home.
Jack is facing charges of deadly conduct and discharge of a firearm, according to police.
Police said the investigation is ongoing. No further details were released.
Jack played seven seasons in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers. He announced his retirement in 2023 at age 27 after a short preseason stint with the Philadelphia Eagles, but came back to the Steelers for a brief period that same year. The former NFL player from Arizona went to college at UCLA.
