Commanders’ CB Marshon Lattimore Arrested for Concealed Weapons Charge

Marshon Lattimore, a cornerback for the Washington Commanders, was arrested on Wednesday, following a concealed weapons charge in Lakewood, Ohio. The incident occurred shortly before 6:15 p.m. on Clifton Boulevard.

Details of the Arrest

According to police reports, Lattimore was apprehended during a traffic stop for having expired license plates. Following his arrest, he was taken to Lakewood jail but was released pending further investigation. His attorney, Marcus Sidoti, confirmed that Lattimore is not currently in custody and has not been formally charged.

Commanders Aware of Incident

The Washington Commanders have acknowledged the situation. A team spokesperson stated that they are gathering information and have informed the NFL League Office about the arrest. Further comment was withheld as the incident unfolds.

Background of Marshon Lattimore

Lattimore, 29, originally from Glenville, Ohio, has a notable career in the NFL. He was a first-round draft pick in 2017 from Ohio State and spent over seven seasons with the New Orleans Saints. In November 2024, he was traded to the Commanders, where he hoped to contribute significantly to the team’s success.

Recent Performance and Future Outlook

After recovering from a hamstring injury, Lattimore returned to action in a Week 15 game against the Saints. However, his 2025 season was cut short due to an ACL injury during a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. His status with the Commanders may be uncertain, especially as the team reevaluates veteran player contracts after a disappointing season.

Previous Legal Issues

This is not Lattimore’s first encounter with the law concerning concealed weapons. In March 2021, he faced similar charges in Cleveland, where he pleaded not guilty. Ultimately, he received a suspended sentence and was placed on one year of non-reporting supervised probation, which he completed in May 2022.
