In the weeks before Atlanta Falcons linebacker James Pearce Jr. allegedly rammed his Lamborghini SUV into WNBA player Rickea Jackson's car in Doral, Florida, at least seven 911 calls to police indicate heightened fears from his unidentified girlfriend that she was being stalked and harassed. Police on Jan. 13 told Pearce to stay away from his ex-girlfriend's home, according to police records obtained by ESPN.

The early February ramming incident culminated in Pearce's arrest on felony battery and stalking charges. Jackson's attorneys subsequently filed a court notice saying that she is "willing to testify" against Pearce if the domestic violence charges against him go to trial. Police officers were repeatedly dispatched to a residence in Doral described as the home of Pearce's on-again, off-again girlfriend between November and the day of Pearce's arrest.

Multiple messages left with the attorneys and representatives for Pearce and Jackson were not returned to ESPN. The Falcons declined to comment. Pearce faces five felony charges -- two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, one count of aggravated stalking, fleeing and eluding police officers, and aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer. He also faces nine traffic citations and a misdemeanor count of resisting an officer without violence to his person.
