Overview

  • Lenoir was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department on June 26 and booked on a misdemeanor resisting-arrest charge after officers spotted a firearm in a companion’s vehicle.
  • He was released on his own recognizance at 1:18 a.m. the following day, and a City Attorney spokesperson has confirmed that formal case files have not yet been received.
  • During a July 27 media availability, Lenoir publicly apologized to his teammates, coaches and family for his conduct during the incident.
  • With veteran cornerback Charvarius Ward no longer on the roster, Lenoir has stepped into a mentoring role for the 49ers’ younger defensive backs.
  • His five-year, $92 million extension signed in November 2024 underscores his importance to the team’s defensive plans as training camp approaches.
