One man on the call tells the group they need to lock down the bar where the incident occurred ... with orders to treat it like a crime scene -- no one in or out.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department released a statement Saturday, hours after we broke the news that Sanchez was stabbed just after midnight ... in which they say they arrested Sanchez for his alleged role in the incident.

3:40 PM PT -- It's still unclear how Arthur Jones passed ... but according to new police audio TMZ Sports has obtained, it appears he might have suffered an issue with his heart on Friday morning.

Former NFL star Arthur Jones -- the brother of UFC legend Jon Jones and football player Chandler Jones -- has died, the Baltimore Ravens announced Friday.

He was 39 years old.

Details surrounding his death have not been announced.

Arthur Jones had plenty of ups and downs throughout his career in the NFL, which lasted for nearly a decade.

The older brother of professional martial artist Jon Jones hopped between teams and even earned himself a Super Bowl ring prior to his death at the age of 39.

We're going to take a look into the background of the late football player and see what he accomplished throughout his sports career.

Arthur first began gaining attention for his athletic skills back in high school, where he played football and was a member of Union-Endicott High School's wrestling team.

He started attending Syracuse University in 2005 -- although he didn't play any games during his freshman year of college, according to the school's official sports website.

Arthur more than made up for the missed opportunities during his second year, when he became one of 40 players to have participated in every game in the 2006 season.

The athlete remained with the Syracuse Orange until 2009, when he finished out his final year with the team.

Arthur kicked off his career in the NFL in 2010, when he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens as a defensive end.

The athlete, whose younger brother Chandler also played in the league, remained with the Ravens until 2013, when he helped lead them to victory at Super Bowl XLVII.

Arthur didn't remain with the Ravens after the big game, though, as he signed a five-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts in 2014. He ended up being released from his contract after sitting out for the entirety of the 2015 season, after which he received a four-game suspension in 2016 following a positive test for performance-enhancing drugs, reports ESPN.

He signed with the Washington Commanders in 2017, although he was quickly placed on injured reserve.

Arthur stepped away from professional sports in 2018, when he announced his retirement from the NFL.

The professional athlete's death was revealed seven years later, and a cause hasn't been revealed as of yet.

The Ravens released an official statement regarding his death, and the organization's general manager, Eric DeCosta, claimed the team was "terribly saddened" about his loss.

12:13 PM PT -- The Fort Worth Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports ... the accident occurred at around 11:48 AM CT on Friday and involved a total of four vehicles.

"Upon arrival, officers located three of the vehicles that were involved; the other had left the scene prior to officers' arrival," cops said in a statement to us Friday. "Medical personnel made the scene and transported an occupant to a nearby hospital with unknown injuries."

"This accident is being investigated."

11:50 AM PT -- Robert Griffin III's wife, Grete, just provided an update ... writing on her IG Story, "I hit my head so will get a CT scan and Robert's back is also getting checked out."

Fortunately, she said the "kiddos are all well and healthy."

Robert Griffin III and his family were involved in a car crash on Friday ... but thankfully, the ex-NFL star says he, his wife and their kids are OK.

Griffin III shared on his X page minutes ago that the wreck occurred while he was out in Fort Worth, Texas getting ready to work this weekend's TCU vs. Colorado game for Fox.

Griffin III and his family appeared to be in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when the accident happened on a local highway.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show could very well feature something no other NFL act ever has -- a WWE Superstar as a backup dancer!!!

Damian Priest tells TMZ Sports ... he's super down to hit the SB LX stage in February to give his good pal Benito a lift if he wants one.

"If you need me to learn some dance moves and break it down," the wrestler said, "I can figure it out!"

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will be deployed to Super Bowl LX ... the agency officially confirming to TMZ a threat made by a Trump advisor.

Here's the deal ... Corey Lewandowski recently made headlines when he blasted Bad Bunny being selected as the SB halftime performer ... and he told right-wing commentator Benny Johnson ICE would be deployed for the event.

In a statement to TMZ, the agency backed up CL, saying ... "There is no safe haven for violent criminal illegal aliens in the United States."

Jay Cutler's brief time behind bars has come to an end ... TMZ Sports has learned he's been released from jail.

Records we've obtained show the ex-NFL star got out of a Williamson County, Tenn. jail late Wednesday evening. He had been in custody since Monday morning.

Cutler was supposed to stay four days in the clink as part of his sentence for pleading guilty to misdemeanor DUI ... but he ultimately only spent about two and a half.

Shedeur Sanders was a man of few (no) words when asked to react to news his Cleveland Browns team was sending Joe Flacco to the bench in favor of fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel ... choosing to pantomime instead of using his voice!

Sanders "spoke" with media in the locker room at the team facility on Wednesday not long after the quarterback change, and it appeared a cat got his tongue ... with the 23-year-old opting not to verbalize his thoughts.

When a reporter asked if he could vocally express his feelings on the move, Sanders continued to mouth his answers, and he seemed to find it quite amusing.

TMZ Sports has obtained photos of the injuries Quinshon Judkins' ex says she sustained at the hands of the Browns rookie ... and the pics do appear to show bruising, cuts and marks on the woman's body.

The images, according to police, were snapped on July 8 and July 12 ... after the woman accused Judkins of roughing her up during a ride home from a Florida airport late on July 7 and early on July 8.

The woman alleged the two had gotten into a dispute over the way Judkins did not defend her to his family following a trip to Hawaii. She claimed the verbal argument turned physical once they got in their rental car, alleging Judkins "punched her in the mouth/chin area with a closed fist."

Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber and Suni Lee all hit an event on Tuesday ... but no, it wasn't for an awards show -- it was all thanks to IShowSpeed!!

Some of the biggest celebrities rolled through in support ... including Kim K, who chatted with Speed about his 35-day tour that wrapped up in L.A. She also brought some of her kids to meet him ... earning her some major cool mom points.

Tyreek Hill's former teammate, Terron Armstead, tells TMZ Sports the wide receiver was in so much pain after dislocating his knee on Monday, he actually had to laugh to prevent passing out.

Armstead said on Tuesday the Dolphins star called him just hours after he sustained the gruesome injury during Miami's "Monday Night Football" clash with the Jets ... and he explained one of the biggest reasons he was grinning ear-to-ear while being carted off the field was he might've lost consciousness otherwise.

"He was laughing through the pain," Armstead said. "Because it was either that or pass out."

Malik Nabers wasn't letting a torn ACL keep him from seeing his favorite rapper, NBA YoungBoy ... the injured NY Giants star using crutches, and rocking a knee brace, pulled up to his concert in New Jersey!
