U.S. Marshals and the Drug Enforcement Agency reportedly seized guns from the family home of Las Vegas Raiders running back Lynn Bowden Jr. in Youngstown, Ohio, during a search that went down on Wednesday.
Gerry Ricciutti of WKBN reported Bowden was spotted on the porch of the home in handcuffs with several other people as authorities took loaded assault rifles and handguns from the house.
Bowden’s mother, Melissa Phillips, would soon take to Twitter and clear up any confusion about whose house it was and that he wasn’t placed under arrest.
“Please stop my son is not arrested that’s not his home it’s our grandmas house and she’s never been in trouble in her entire life so the information is very inaccurate”
Sources told Ricciutti that undercover police agents previously made drug purchases at the residence, but those sources don’t know if Bowden was involved in the transactions.
