Gun was loaded and in the console next to him. The vehicle supposedly wasn't his and the gun was "locked" in the console which he claimed he didn't have a key for. The police broke the console open and found the gun.

The article is misleading. I've never read anything about them seeing a holster which prompted a search. I doubt that a search prompted by the sighting of an empty holster would even be legal. Instead, they were searching for more drugs after they found some on the guy (also a Browns player but who was subsequently cut) sitting in the passenger seat.

The story at the time of the arrest was that the police asked him if there were drugs or firearms in the car and he volunteered that there was a pistol locked in the console between the driver and passenger seats. He told them he didn't have a key to the console and they broke into it to retrieve the gun.

All in all, the quoted comments of the police were that Warren was polite and cooperative.

This will hopefully be the last time he accepts a party invitation from a Steelers player (Plaxico Burris). Pittsburgh is not the friendliest place for a Browns player to hang out.
