This is basically the Adrian Peterson rule.
If you have been charged with a crime you will be asked to go home, settle your case and will be paid while you do so.
The new personal conduct policy incorporates leave with pay via the Commissioner-Exempt list whenever a player is “formally charged with a crime of violence.” The term is defined to encompass players accused “of having used physical force or a weapon to injure or threaten another person, of having engaged in a sexual assault by force or a sexual assault of a person who was incapable of giving consent, of having engaged in other conduct that poses a genuine danger to the safety or well-being of another person, or of having engaged in animal abuse.”
An arrest ordinarily isn’t enough to trigger paid leave; the player must be charged with the crime. Charges may come “in the form of an indictment by a grand jury, the filing of charges by a prosecutor, or an arraignment in a criminal court.”
If you are accused of a crime, but not charged you will still be able to play.
