Rams defensive lineman Ethan Westbrooks was arrested over the weekend in Kern County, California, for allegedly possessing a handgun that was not registered to him, ESPN confirmed Monday.
Westbrooks was initially pulled over for speeding Friday night, and the officer found a handgun inside the vehicle that was loaded with 13 rounds of ammunition. Records later revealed that the handgun was reported stolen in 2009.
Westbrooks was booked on five felony charges: receiving stolen property, carrying a loaded firearm, carrying a stolen loaded firearm, grand theft of a firearm and possessing a high-capacity magazine.
Westbrooks was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in Sacramento, California, in March but was never charged.

What a moron.
-PJ
having a magazine with more than 10 rounds is a felony in CA...gotta love the libs and their enablers in that formerly decent state
Every little misstep these players do is going to be highlighted hundredfold.
NFL = National Felon League.
It’s what the National Felons League do
pulled over for speeding Friday night, and the officer found a handgun inside the vehicle???
Not to excuse this guy, but why would they be searching his car in the first place? Speeding is NOT Probable Cause to search a vehicle ANYWHERE! Either he gave them the OK or this whole case will be tossed for an Illegal Search.
Something is missing from the story
There goes the NFL streak of 22 days without an arrest.
He probably gave consent.
Knowing the arrogance of many pro athletes, it was probably out in the open on a seat or floor of the vehicle.
Racism!
He was probably just protesting some mistreatment or something. They should give him a pass....... (jk)
Well look here and what do we see? Popcorn growing on an Apricot Tree; and libs wonder why we are protesting...hmmmmm
you are probably right, I always Lock my Doors and put the keys in my pocket if asked to get out of my vehicle, and I never give consent for Anything. They always back down and go on their merry way if you demonstrate that you are smarter without pissing them off too much. I also haven’t been pulled over in 20 years
Stupid. In most logical states he could carry this legally without a problem. Carrying a stolen handgun....that is stupid.
“TRUMP MADE ME DO IT !!!”
I think SP pic and link are needed here.....
