Former NFL defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson was reportedly arrested on multiple charges in New Jersey. He is no stranger to being behind bars.
According to TMZ Sports, Wilkerson was pulled over on December 22nd. He failed field sobriety tests, and police found an open bottle of tequila and a loaded gun inside his vehicle.
The gun was an FN 509 Tactical Handgun with 11 hollow point bullets.
The ex-Jets star reportedly told police that he was coming home from a club in New York City.
He reportedly told police he purchased the gun in Florida, but he did not have the proper documentation, so he was charged with unlawful possession of a handgun and operating a vehicle while under the influence.
The former Pro Bowl defensive lineman is now set to appear in court in February.
