Raiders Pro Bowl DE Chandler Jones says he was hospitalized against his will in Las Vegas

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones says the Las Vegas Fire Department held him against his will by taking him to a hospital and then a behavioral health facility last week.
Jones made the claims in several social media posts and named several Raiders executives, including owner Mark Davis, general manager Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh McDaniels.
In one post, Jones said, "First day out but I'm still aligned," and then posted a patient rights statement from the Seven Hills Behavioral Health Hospital.
The 33-year-old Jones has not played this season after being placed on the non-football illness list last week.
Jones says the Las Vegas Fire Department arrived at his residence to inform him that the Las Vegas Police Department had a "court hold" on him and added that when he was placed in an ambulance, medical personnel, without his consent, injected him with a substance.

"I haven't done anything wrong. The police said people were concerned about me because of my posts online," Jones wrote.
The four-time Pro Bowler said he was taken to Southern Hills Hospital in Spring Valley, Nevada, and then to the behavioral hospital, adding he tried to contact Ziegler numerous times and left voicemails "for help and I wondered if he had me put in here, but he never answered."
"I'm still confused on what I did wrong. I'm stuck here. I'm very sane," Jones said. "I'm to [sic] strong of a person to be mentally broken."
Earlier this month, in a since-deleted social media post, Jones said he wanted out of the organization after being locked out of the team facility and being forced to work out at a gym.
Jones is in his second season with the Raiders after spending the previous six seasons with the Arizona Cardinals and first four with the New England Patriots. He signed a three-year, $51 million contract with Las Vegas last year.
