He ran into some off-field trouble in 2018

Seals-Jones was arrested and charged for assault, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing during the 2018 offseason. The situation reportedly arose over a dispute about using the restroom. Here are the details from our friends over at Cards Wire:

Seals-Jones allegedly sought to use the restroom in the W Hotel but was denied entry because it is for guests only. The report says he then tried to use the restroom inside one of the hotel’s restaurants. After he was denied entry again, he is accused of shoving an employee to get by him.

Seals-Jones alleges he needed to go badly, walked past workers and was taken down.

This is hardly a smart thing to get arrested over and it seems like it could have been avoided. At the same time, when nature calls, perhaps we should all be a bit more kind to our fellow citizens.
