OnetimeSuper Bowlchampion and formerKansas City ChiefBashaud Breeland has been arrested in Charlotte,North Carolina.
Arrest records from theMecklenburg County Sheriff’s Officeshow that Breeland, 31, is now facing a slew of charges, including possession of a stolen motor vehicle, altering serial numbers, altering a vehicle title, possession ofcannabis, possession of a Schedule I controlled substance and possession of stolen firearms.
According to the outlet, officers from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department allegedly found Breeland in possession of 62 grams of suspectedmushrooms, more than five pounds of cannabis, drug paraphernalia, and multiple stolen weapons, including two AR-15s and two AK-47s.
Records show the South Carolina native was released Tuesday after posting a $30,000 bond.
This was not the first time Breeland has been in trouble with the law,CBS Sportsreported.
At the time, Breeland was charged with transporting alcohol in a motor vehicle with the seal broken, possessing an open container of beer or wine in a motor vehicle, possession of 28 grams or less of cannabis or 10 grams of hash, driving without a license and resisting arrest, according to theCBS Sportsreport.
“I post this today because I want to apologize, publicly, to the entire Chiefs organization, my coaches, teammates, family and fans,” Breeland wrote at the time, according toYahoo News. “I accept full responsibility for my actions, and I look forward to getting back on the field with my teammates to defend our Super Bowl title.”
Breeland played eight seasons with the NFL as a cornerback, starting with the Washington Redskins (now named the Washington Commanders) in 2014. In 2018, he agreed to a three-year, $24 million contract with theCarolina Panthers, but the deal was later voided after he failed a physical examination stemming from a non-football-related injury to his foot that became infected, according toESPN.
He ultimately never played for Carolina and was released as a free agent. He has not played in the NFL since 2021 when he was with the Minnesota Vikings.
A rep for Breeland did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’S request for comment. It’s unclear if Breeland has an attorney who can comment on his behalf.
