Sunday, August 3, 2025 - Denzel Perryman, a linebacker for the Los Angeles Chargers, was arrested on Friday, August 1, in Los Angeles on a felony weapons charge, according to law enforcement sources cited by TMZ.
The NFL player was reportedly taken into custody by officers
from the South Los Angeles Sheriff's Station and booked for felony possession
of an assault weapon. Authorities say Perryman was on his way to a gun range
when his vehicle was searched. During the search, officers discovered two
AR-style rifles and three handguns in his trunk. The rifles were found to be
non-compliant with California state laws, making their possession illegal.
As of Saturday morning, Perryman remained in custody and is
scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, August 5. This marks his first felony
charge.
Perryman previously faced disciplinary action from the NFL
in 2023, when he was suspended without pay for three games due to repeated
violations of the league’s player safety rules. At the time, he was playing for
the Houston Texans.
Originally drafted by the then-San Diego Chargers in 2015,
Perryman played six seasons with the team before brief stints with the Carolina
Panthers, Las Vegas Raiders, and the Texans. He rejoined the Chargers in 2024.
