Grizzlies' Josh Jackson in Diversion Program for Resisting Arrest Charge

Grizzlies forward Josh Jackson was entered into a pre-trial diversion program to settle a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest stemming from an incident at the Rolling Loud music festival in Miami on May 10, according to the Miami State Attorney's Office. Jackson was also charged with felony escape at the time of his arrest but the latter was dropped earlier this summer, TMZ first reported.

Jackson, 22, was entered into the program on July 2, according to court records. The charge will be dismissed if the program is completed, although details of what the diversion program entails are not available.
