Junfu Han/USA TODAY Network via Imagn Images Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams will not face any criminal gun charges from an incident in October. Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams will not face any charges from an encounter with Detroit police in early October. During a traffic stop with his brother driving, it was revealed to officers that both people in the car were carrying weapons—his brother’s in the backseat and Williams’ under his own passenger seat. However, while both firearms were registered to each person, only Williams’ brother had a concealed pistol license (CPL), which led officers to initially place Williams under custody for being in possession of a gun without the proper license. However, after more officers arrived on scene and a long discussion was had, police eventually released Williams from custody and did not press any charges. After this story went public, the Detroit Police Department did an internal investigation to see if Williams received special treatment based on his celebrity status as a Lions player. That included sending a warrant request to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office. On Monday, the prosecution offered their response, opting not to press charges for the incident. “Because the case law is silent regarding the specific issue, and the legislative intent of the CPL statute does not support charges under these facts, no charges will issue in this matter, and the warrant is denied,” the office said in a statement. As for whether Williams received special treatment, prosecutor Kym Worthy had this response, via ESPN: No concealed weapons charges will be issued against #Lions WR Jameson Williams, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, stemming from his traffic stop on Oct. 8.

While the third-year receiver appears to be in the legal clear, it’s unclear if the NFL will take any action regarding the incident—although that seems unlikely considering he was found to have committed no crime.
