Lattimore has since been released from custody and did not post bond.
The Ohio native has a history of legal issues, notably in November 2021, when he pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed weapon in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. He was pulled over during a traffic stop while in the passenger seat in that incident.
Lattimore ultimately faced one year of non-reporting probation.
Lattimore just completed his ninth year in the NFL, his first full year with the Commanders after a 2024 trade from the New Orleans Saints. However, the 29-year-old tore an ACL in the Commanders’ 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks at home, ending his year prematurely after just nine games.
Lattimore was the 11th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft after a standout career with the Ohio State Buckeyes.
He spent parts of eight seasons with the Saints, making four Pro Bowls, including three straight from 2019-21.
Through 108 career games, Lattimore has tallied 16 interceptions, including five his rookie year, 436 combined tackles, 98 passes defended and five forced fumbles. He won the 2017 Defensive Rookie of the Year as well.
