Police are investigating Detroit Lions running back Jameson Williams, who evaded arrest with a gun

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is currently out of the team after serving a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

However, earlier in October, Williams was nearly arrested after a gun was found in a car he and his brother were traveling in in Detroit. According to the message from 7 News DetroitWilliams was nearly arrested after two guns were found in the car they were traveling in on October 8.

Williams’ brother is a CPL holder, but Williams is not. The gun found under Williams’ seat was registered to him and the other to his brother.

Although Williams’ brother initially said both guns belonged to him, Jameson Williams later said the guns belonged to him.

“I got a gun for protection,” Williams said on body camera. “You know where I live? Detroit.”

At the traffic stop, dash cam video was released showing Williams repeatedly telling a police officer that he was playing for lions. Williams was eventually handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car, but was not taken to jail.

A supervisor was called to the place, and Williams was eventually released from custody. A sergeant who arrived at the scene was caught on camera making a series of phone calls, and Williams was eventually released from custody.

As a result of the events surrounding the decision to release him, Detroit police have launched an internal affairs investigation into why Williams was fired.

The Detroit Police Department has reportedly requested a warrant from the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office. According to 7 News Detroit, Williams will be charged with carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle.

“Jameson immediately informed us that he was a passenger on a routine stop on October 8,” the Lions said in a statement to 7 News Detroit. “We have discussed the incident with him and have informed the league of what we know. We understand that he was released without incident or report. We now understand that the Detroit Police Department is reviewing this matter. Jameson has retained an attorney and we will not comment further out of respect to the trial”.

Williams’ attorney, Todd Flood, also released a statement to 7 News Detroit. In the statement, Flood claimed that the weapons were transported with the appropriate documents.

“On October 8, my clients were stopped for allegedly violating traffic rules. During the stop, my clients were cooperative and respectful with the police,” Flood wrote. “With the two handguns that were found in the vehicle, they were both properly registered and the driver of the vehicle had the proper documents to carry them. We have cooperated with law enforcement agencies and will continue to do so.”
