Police Probe Lions' Williams Traffic Stop Incident

News summary

Detroit police are investigating why Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams was not arrested after being found with a gun during an Oct. 8 traffic stop. Williams, who didn't have a concealed-carry permit, was initially handcuffed but released after a supervisor intervened. Chief James White expressed dissatisfaction with how the situation was handled, and a warrant has been submitted to the Wayne County Prosecutor's office. The incident has sparked debate over whether Williams received preferential treatment due to his status as a football player. Williams, who is currently serving a suspension for violating the NFL's drug policy, stated that he needed the gun for protection. His lawyer argues that no laws were broken because the driver had a permit for both guns in the vehicle.
