San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was arrested in Los Angeles Thursday and booked into jail for obstruction of justice, police said. He was later released.
The Los Angeles Police Department said officers stopped a group in the area of West Vernon Avenue and South Wilton Place and observed a gun in a parked vehicle. A reason for the initial stop wasn't immediately known.
When officers asked for the keys to the car, a suspect threw them to Lenoir, who kept them from officers before throwing them to a third suspect who tried to hide them from the officers, police said.
Lenoir was arrested due to a lengthy delay and trying to hide the keys, police said.
Lenoir was booked into jail Thursday night and released early Friday morning, according to jail records.
