The Detroit Lions have released a statement regarding the bodycam footage release of an incident involving star wide receiver Jameson Williams
Earlier today, WXYZ obtained video footage of officers for the Detroit Police Department pulling over a vehicle driven by Jameson Williams’ brother (Jameson was in the passenger seat) after midnight on Oct. 8.
The officers are informed that they have two guns in the vehicle. Though Jameson’s brother had a legal license for the guns, the Lions star was briefly detained after revealing that one of the guns belongs to him. Williams is then placed in handcuffs and taken into the cop car. He informs the officers that he plays for the Lions, and they eventually release him.
Per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News, the Lions released a statement on the video involving Jameson Williams. The team said they’ve spoken to him about the matter, that he’s hired an attorney and they’ll decline furthe moment.
