"The Washington Commanders kicked off their ambitious plan to win a Super Bowl during the 2024 offseason. But their first significant statement of intent was to acquire Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore before the trade deadline last year. This was a risky gamble from general manager Adam Peters, but Lattimore's accomplished previous production was expected to transform Washington's fortunes in the secondary. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. And now, their offseason decision on the player's fate may have become even easier."
"According to Scott Abraham of 7News DC, Lattimore was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped for expired license plates and other traffic violations. The Ohio State product then failed to tell an officer that there was a firearm in the vehicle when asked. The Lakewood Police Department will issue him a criminal misdemeanor citation, charging Lattimore with Improperly Handling Firearms in a Motor Vehicle. He is expected to be in court next week."
The Washington Commanders acquired Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore as a major offseason move intended to strengthen the secondary. General manager Adam Peters made a risky trade based on Lattimore's prior production, but Lattimore underperformed and suffered a season-ending torn ACL against the Seattle Seahawks. Lattimore was arrested on suspicion of carrying concealed weapons in Northeast Ohio and released pending investigation; this marks a second arrest for that violation after a 2021 incident. The Commanders informed the NFL and are gathering information. The Lakewood Police will issue a misdemeanor citation for Improperly Handling Firearms in a Motor Vehicle, and Lattimore is expected in court next week. JP Finlay suggested the arrest may expedite a release decision.
