Los Angeles Chargers linebackers Denzel Perryman was arrested on weapons violations on Friday night, according to USA TODAY.
Perryman was booked on a felony charge, per the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
"NFL player, Denzel Perryman, was arrested by South Los Angeles Station deputies on Friday, August 1, 2025. Deputies conducted a traffic stop of Mr. Perryman’s vehicle for vehicle code violations. During their investigation, Mr. Perryman was arrested for multiple weapons violations," the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports.
"Mr. Perryman was extremely cooperative with deputies throughout the investigation."
According to TMZ, the 32-year-old Perryman, who is in his 11th NFL season, was on his way to a gun range when he was pulled over by police. Officers searched his car and found two AR-15 rifles and three handguns in his trunk. The rifles were reportedly non-compliant, which is against the law in California.
Perryman is expected in court on Tuesday.
Perryman was selected in the second round of the 2015 NFL draft and spent the first six seasons of his career with the Chargers. After signing with the Carolina Panthers in March 2021, he was dealt to the Las Vegas Raiders five months later. Following two years with the Raiders, he signed a one-year contract with the Houston Texans. He re-joined the Chargers in March 2024.
