Star 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday night and charged with a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest.
Lenoir, 25, was released from jail on Friday and has a L.A. court date set for July 25; 49ers training camp opens July 22.
Lenoir, a fifth-round pick from the 2021 draft, received a $92 million, five-year extension last season. He’s heading into his fourth season as a starter and is a cornerstone of the 49ers defense.
TMZ was the first to report about the Los Angeles native’s arrest. According to TMZ, Los Angeles Police Department officers approached Lenoir and at least one other man around 5:30 p.m. when they observed vehicles double-parked and blocking traffic. That is when a gun was spotted in one of the vehicles. When police asked for the keys to the vehicle, the men, including Lenoir, allegedly tossed the keys to each other several times before one man attempted to hide them.
LAPD, according to NFL media, said Lenoir’s arrest charge was for penal code 148(a)(1), also known as resisting arrest: “Every person who willfully resists, delays, or obstructs and public officer, peace officer, or an emergency medical technician.”
The 49ers issued a statement Friday afternoon about the incident.
“We are aware of the matter involving Deommodore Lenoir and are in the process of gathering further information,” the statement read.
TMZ reported that Marcus Cunningham was arrested for possession of a concealed firearm in a vehicle.
