Detroit Lions' Jameson Williams Avoids Gun Charges After Traffic Stop

Prosecutors determined there was no legal basis to charge the NFL player following an October incident involving firearms in a vehicle.

  • Jameson Williams, wide receiver for the Detroit Lions, will not face criminal charges after an October traffic stop involving firearms.
  • Police discovered two guns in a car driven by Williams' brother, who holds a concealed pistol license; one gun was registered to Williams but he did not have a permit at the time.
  • Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy stated Michigan law lacks clarity in such cases and found no legal grounds to issue charges.
  • Williams obtained a concealed pistol license on November 6, a month after the incident, according to his attorney.
  • The Detroit Police Department is conducting an internal investigation into the handling of the stop, including claims of potential preferential treatment.
