Another NFL player seems to be in trouble.
Two days after Miramar, Florida, police announced arrest warrants for cornerbacks DeAndre Baker and Quinton Dunbar for armed robbery and aggravated assault, former Giant wide receiver Cody Latimer was arrested and charged on felony charges of assault in the second degree, menacing and illegal discharge of a firearm in Colorado, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department.
A police report said a witness heard gunshots and arguing inside an apartment. One unidentified person was later said to have minor injuries not related to a gunshot. Latimer, 27, was released on a $25,000 bond. He also is facing misdemeanor charges of prohibited use of a weapon and reckless endangerment.
“There’s an entire back story to this situation that constitutes one of the most highly provocative situations you can imagine,” said Latimer’s attorney Harvey Steinberg, according to ESPN. “Please withhold judgment until all the facts of what took place that night are known.”
After spending the past two seasons with the Giants, Latimer signed a one-year, $1.04 million contract with the Redskins. He spent the first four years of his career with the Broncos.
Baker, the 22-year-old Giants player, turned himself in to police Saturday.
