Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore faces weapons charge

Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore is facing a weapons charge following a traffic stop near Cleveland.

Lattimore, 29, was arrested on Wednesday night in Lakewood, Ohio. He was booked into jail and later released, according to police records.

He was charged with carrying a concealed weapon and could face a second charge of improperly handling a firearm in a motor vehicle.

"We have been made aware of the arrest and are gathering more information," the Commanders said in a statement on Thursay. "We have informed the NFL League office and have no further comment at this time."

Lattimore is a four-time Pro Bowl selection who just completed his first full season with Washington. He recorded one interception and 27 tackles in nine starts before landing on injured reserve with torn ACL on Nov. 4.

The New Orleans Saints traded Lattimore to the Commanders on Nov. 5, 2024. He has one season remaining on his five-year, $97.6 million contract and has a base salary of $16.5 million in 2026, per Spotrac.

A first-round pick (11th overall) by the Saints in 2017, Lattimore has 16 interceptions, 98 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and 436 tackles in 108 career regular-season games (all starts) with New Orleans (2017-24) and Washington (2024-25).

Lattimore, who is from Cleveland, was previously arrested in his hometown in March 2021 and initially faced a felony charge of receiving a stolen firearm. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of carrying a concealed weapon and received one year of probation and a suspended 180-day jail sentence.
