“The gun is properly registered,” Flood said. “There is no problem with that. He is not the driver of the vehicle. His brother is. There was a CPL holder in the car. That immunizes the fact that standard practices and protocols are being followed, that would not be the case.” criminal charges are being filed.”

The Lions released a statement, revealing that the organization was made aware of the case shortly after the police interaction.

“Jameson immediately made us aware that he was a passenger during a routine traffic stop on October 8,” the statement said. “We have discussed the incident with him and have kept the league informed of what we know. We understand he was released without permission incident or quote. We now understand that Detroit police are re-investigating the case. Jameson has retained an attorney and out of respect for the legal process, we will have no further comment.”
