Detroit’s police department has undertaken an investigation into why\u00a0Detroit Lions<\/a>\u00a0wide receiver Jameson Williams was not arrested during a traffic stop on Oct. 8, according to a Tuesday afternoon\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0from Ross Jones of WXYZ-TV in Detroit.<\/p>\n

According to Jones’s report, which cited police, Williams was nearly taken into custody when police found an unlicensed gun in his car.<\/p>\n

Police said the discovery was made when Williams was pulled over for speeding; Williams’s brother apparently also had a gun on the car, registered legally.<\/p>\n

The wide receiver is said to have responded to these events by telling his would-be arresting officers that he played for the Lions three times. At that point, a supervisor was summoned, as (per Jones) “a precaution to make sure that policy is followed in cases that could create media coverage.”<\/p>\n

However, “the sergeant was a Lions fan and immediately recognizes Williams’ name. Body camera footage also showed that the sergeant\u2019s cellphone wallpaper was the Lions logo.”<\/p>\n

The department’s review of the events led them to request a warrant for Williams’s arrest.<\/p>\n

Williams is currently serving a\u00a0two-game suspension<\/a>\u00a0for violating NFL policy surrounding performance-enhancing substances, and in 2023 served a four-game ban related to gambling.<\/p>\n
