Myles Jack was in the center of a bizarre scene in Texas.

The former NFL linebacker was arrested in Frisco, Texas, this week and now faces a third-degree felony charge after he allegedly discharged a firearm during a welfare check, according to a Frisco Police Department news release.

The incident unfolded early Tuesday morning in a residential area of Frisco when officers responded to a welfare concern at approximately 5:40 a.m.

Frisco Police said they heard gunshots inside the home as they arrived, and that a suspect, later identified as the 30-year-old Jack, climbed out and fell from a two-story window.

Jack was reportedly taken into custody at 7:12 a.m. and transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries from the fall, authorities said.

Police say no one else was inside the residence.

Jack faces multiple charges of deadly conduct, including a third-degree felony of discharge of a firearm and a Class-A misdemeanor of discharge of a firearm in certain municipalities.

He posted $100,000 bond on Thursday, according to records viewed by The Post.

Jack, a UCLA alum, was selected No. 36 overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. He played with the Steelers and Jaguars from 2016-23, a run that also included a very brief stint with the Eagles.

Over his career, he recorded 7.5 sacks, 634 tackles and three interceptions.

Per ESPN, Jack, along with his mother, LaSonjia Jack, bought the ECHL Allen Americans minor league hockey team in 2023.

Jack also appears to be listed on the site of the ECHL’s Jacksonville Icemen.
