Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore was arrested in Lakewood, Ohio, on Wednesday evening for allegedly carrying concealed weapons.
According to Lakewood police records, Lattimore was arrested on the 11700 block of Clifton Boulevard around 6:14 p.m. and booked at the Lakewood jail. He was later released pending an investigation. No charges were filed.
“Mr. Lattimore was stopped for expired plates and fully cooperated with law enforcement,” Lattimore’s attorney, Marcus Sidoti, said in a statement to The Athletic. “Mr. Lattimore is not in custody and has not been charged at this time.”
The Commanders “have been made aware of the arrest and are gathering more information,” a team spokesperson said in a statement. “We have informed the NFL League Office and have no further comment at this time.”
Lattimore, 29, a native of Glenville, Ohio, which is roughly 14 miles northeast of Lakewood, was at the Commanders’ facility in northern Virginia on Monday for his exit interview and locker cleanout.
The 2017 first-round pick out of Ohio State played seven-plus seasons with the New Orleans Saints before he was traded to the Commanders in November 2024. After recovering from a hamstring injury, he made his debut in a Week 15 win over his former team.
His 2025 season was cut short because of an ACL injury during Washington’s Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Lattimore is among the Commanders’ veterans on the bubble for next season. The team acquired him in 2024 when it believed it was close to contending, but the ‘25 season spiraled, and this incident could further complicate Lattimore’s future with the organization.
In March 2021, Lattimore was arrested in Cleveland on a concealed weapons charge. He pleaded not guilty that November and received a suspended sentence of 180 days. Lattimore was ordered to serve one year of “non-reporting” supervised probation and pay a $1,000 fine. He was removed from non-reporting supervision in May 2022, according to Cuyahoga County court records.
