Washington Redskins wide receiver Cody Latimer was reportedly arrested on Saturday morning on charges of Assault, Menacing, Illegal Discharge of a Firearm, Prohibited Use of a Weapon, and Reckless Endangerment.

The report came from ESPN’s Field Yates, noting that the alleged incident took place in Douglas County, in Colorado.

This is the second Redskins’ adjacent legal issue that has occurred in the past week, as former Washington CB Quinton Dunbar had a warrant issued for his arrest earlier in the week for an alleged armed robbery.

Latimer is yet to play a game with the Redskins, as he was signed in the 2020 Free Agency period after coming over from the New York Giants. He was expected to slot into the WR rotation alongside Terry McLaurin, Steven Sims, and Kelvin Harmon.
