Bills wide receiver Zay Jones was arrested in Los Angeles Monday night after causing a scene in an apartment building, all while stark naked.
Jones, a rookie last season, first attempted to fight his brother, Vikings receiver Cayleb Jones, in the hallway, according to footage obtained by TMZ. While Cayleb, dressed in a sweatshirt and shorts, tried to restrain him, Zay charged his older brother and grappled with him before dashing past him.
“I’m going to fight for Jesus,” 22-year-old Zay Jones yelled repeatedly.
A woman, reportedly Cayleb’s girlfriend, could be heard letting out blood-curdling screams after Zay sprinted toward her apartment. The two were supposedly trying to block Zay from jumping out the window of the high-rise apartment building.

The police found his blood smeared over the floor and walls when they arrived at the scene, where they reportedly arrested Zay Jones for felony vandalism.
The Bills acknowledged Jones’ arrest in a statement Tuesday night.
“We are aware of the incident involving Zay Jones,” read the statement. “We are still in the process of gathering more information on the matter. At this point, we will have no further comment.”
Jones, who signed a four-year, $6.7 million contract with the Bills last May after getting drafted in the second round, had an unimpressive debut season, catching 27 passes for 316 yards and two touchdowns in limited snaps.
The East Carolina product hails from a successful football family. His father, Robert, was a Pro-Bowl linebacker and three-time Super Bowl champion over nine NFL seasons and his uncle, quarterback Jeff Blake, enjoyed one Pro Bowl season during his NFL career. Jones’ younger brother, Levi, plays linebacker at USC.
