Los Angeles police said they saw multiple double-parked cars blocking traffic at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday. They said a suspect “appearing to conceal contraband” threw the keys to one of the cars to Lenoir, who refused to give them to officers.
Officers eventually recovered a gun and narcotics in one of the cars. Lenoir, 25, was arrested and booked on a charge of delaying and resisting a peace officer.
According to the county jail inmate information center, Lenoir was released around 1 a.m. Friday and is due to appear in court July 25.
A spokesperson for the 49ers did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Lenoir, a 2021 fifth-round pick by San Francisco, signed a five-year, $92 million extension with the 49ers in November. He recorded six interceptions and 26 pass breakups over his first four seasons with the 49ers.
Lenoir attended Salesian High School in Los Angeles and was a three-year starter at the University of Oregon.
