Marshon Lattimore Bodycam Footage Released: NFL Commanders CB Told Cops No Gun in Car Before Loaded Handgun Found in Glovebox
Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore is back in the spotlight for off-field issues after TMZ Sports obtained and published body-worn camera footage from his January 2026 arrest in Ohio. The video shows the NFL veteran denying any weapons were in the vehicle—only for officers to discover a loaded handgun during a routine search.
The incident occurred during a traffic stop in Lakewood, Ohio (near Cleveland), where Lattimore was a passenger in a car owned by him but driven by a female acquaintance. Police pulled the vehicle over for a minor traffic violation, and a records check revealed expired plates.
Before writing citations, the officer asked Lattimore if there were any guns or knives in the car. Lattimore responded: “No.”
The officer informed them the car would be towed due to the expired plates and that an inventory search would be conducted. During the search, the officer opened the glovebox and found a loaded handgun. The officer then stated: “We can go ahead and book him.”
Lattimore was arrested and booked on charges including:
Carrying concealed weapons
Improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle (a felony in Ohio)
He pleaded not guilty to the charges, and the case remains open and active as of February 16, 2026.
Lattimore’s NFL Career Context
Lattimore, 29, is a former first-round pick (No. 11 overall in 2017) by the New Orleans Saints, where he earned five Pro Bowl selections and was a key part of their defense for seven seasons. He signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Commanders in the 2025 offseason as a free agent. The arrest occurred during his first year in Washington, though no immediate team discipline has been reported beyond the standard NFL notification process.
This is not Lattimore’s first off-field legal issue—he was arrested in Cleveland in 2021 on a stolen firearm charge (later resolved) and faced scrutiny in other incidents. The Commanders have not issued a public comment on the bodycam release, but the NFL League office was informed following the initial arrest in January.
The footage has reignited discussions about NFL players and gun possession laws, especially in states with strict concealed carry regulations like Ohio. No further updates on court proceedings were detailed in the TMZ report, but the video provides clear context to the initial police interaction.
Commanders fans and NFL observers are watching closely—will this impact his status on the team or in free agency discussions? Share your thoughts below: fair charges, or overreach on a traffic stop? Stay tuned for any developments in the ongoing case.
