Malik Nabers Cleared After Paramus Traffic Stop

Reporters say police stopped and searched his car following a road‑rage tip but found no weapon, issued no citation, and made no arrest.

Overview

  • Video of Nabers talking with Paramus officers circulated on social media Tuesday night and prompted online claims that he had been arrested.
  • Beat reporters including Mike Garafolo and Jordan Raanan traced the stop to a third‑party road‑rage report about a vehicle similar to Nabers’ and identified the episode as a case of mistaken identity.
  • Officers searched Nabers’ vehicle and questioned him during the brief encounter, but they found no weapon, issued no citations, and released him without arrest.
  • Sources say the original report involved an individual who was accused of brandishing a gun, but investigators found no connection between that report and Nabers.
  • The episode highlights how short, ambiguous on‑scene clips can fuel false arrest narratives and adds to media scrutiny around Nabers as he rehabs a torn ACL and meniscus.
