Overview

  • LAPD officers stopped a double-parked vehicle blocking traffic on South Wilton Place after spotting a firearm in Marcus Cunningham’s car.
  • During the stop Cunningham tossed his keys to Lenoir, who refused officers’ requests and passed them to another individual, leading to a misdemeanor resisting-arrest charge.
  • Lenoir faced a charge under California Penal Code 148(a)(1), was released on his own recognizance early Friday, and must appear in L.A. Superior Court on July 25.
  • Cunningham, 25, was arrested on a felony count for concealed firearm possession in a vehicle following the same incident.
  • The 49ers said they are aware of the matter and are gathering information regarding the case as Lenoir, who signed a five-year, $92 million extension last season, prepares for training camp.
