Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson was arrested Sunday and charged with escape and resisting arrest at the Rolling Loud music festival in Miami.

Andy Slater of 640 The Hurricane reported Jackson attempted to enter the VIP area without a pass and was then handcuffed. He then attempted to flee the officers before being apprehended.

The fourth pick of the 2017 NBA draft, Jackson averaged 11.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 41.3 percent shooting. ESPN's real-plus minus ranked him as the 474th-best player in basketball and one of the worst high-minute players in the sport.

Jackson was previously arrested in 2017 on a misdemeanor criminal damage to property. He entered into a diversion program that would result in the charges being dropped.



The Suns have not commented on Jackson's arrest at this time. He is scheduled for a follow-up hearing June 10 and posted $1,000 bond for his release.
