Jackson was arrested at the Rolling Loud music festival in Miami Gardens, Fla., according to multiple reports. He allegedly was denied entry to the VIP area because he did not have a pass and was handcuffed by police before he ran away.
Jackson posted a $1,000 bond Saturday.
The Suns said they are aware of the report.
Jackson averaged 11.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 79 games (29 starts) last season. He was the fourth overall pick out of Kansas in 2017.
Rapper Kodak Black also was arrested at Rolling Loud. Kodak Black, whose real name is Bill Kapri, was arrested on a weapons charge for lying on an official document to purchase a gun, according to the Miami Herald.
