New Orleans Saints superstar Marshon Lattimore was arrested last month in Cleveland when police discovered he had a stolen gun hidden in his pants. The vehicle he was in was pulled because the driver committed several traffic violations.
Lattimore and three other passengers were arrested. The stardom was reserved on charges of not notifying and not receiving stolen goods, which is a fourth-degree offense and carries a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison.

On Wednesday, the video of the incident was obtained by TMZ Sports.
In the video, police officers approached the vehicle and said they smelled marijuana. Police asked Lattimore if there were any weapons in the car and he replied that he had one in the groin area of his pants.
“You’re going to shoot your boss,” an officer is heard telling Lattimore as he pulls the gun out of his pants. Another officer added, “Take a heel, brother.”

Soon after, a police officer admitted that Lattimore was an NFL player.
– Are you playing for the Saints? he asked, which prompted the officer to talk to the player.
“The amount of things you took, brother,” the officer said. “It’s not like you’re a king-boy, brother.”

Lattimore, who played college football at Ohio State, is one of the best defensive defenders in the NFL. Last season, he had 62 total attacks with 11 defending passes and two interceptions. On a weekly basis, the Saints line up Lattimore with the opposing team’s best wide receiver.
Lattimore’s rookie deal expires after the 2021 season, which means he will be looking for a huge contract extension next year.
