Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore was arrested on Wednesday outside of Cleveland, Ohio, on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon, according to police records.
The arrest of Lattimore occurred after a traffic stop in Lakewood, Ohio, at 6:14 p.m. on Wednesday, according to police. He was booked into jail but subsequently released. The matter remains under investigation.
The police report, which lists a 9mm Glock as evidence, includes a second possible charge for improper handling of firearms in a motor vehicle.
We have been informed of the arrest and are gathering more information. We have informed the NFL league office and have no further comment at this time.
In March 2021, Lattimore was also arrested in Cleveland and initially charged with a felony for receiving a stolen firearm. The felony charge was later dismissed, but Lattimore pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed weapon, a misdemeanor. He received one year of probation and a suspended jail sentence of 180 days.
Lattimore has spent the last 1 and a half seasons with the Commanders, who acquired him in a trade with the New Orleans Saints last season. He only played five games with Washington, including the playoffs, due to a hamstring injury.
Lattimore tore his ACL on November 3 and missed the rest of the season. Washington can save $18.5 million by releasing Lattimore.
The Saints selected 29-year-old Lattimore in the first round of the 2017 draft. He was selected for four Pro Bowls with the Saints.
