49ers' Deommodore Lenoir arrested in Los Angeles, later released
San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was arrested in Los Angeles Thursday and booked into jail for obstruction of justice, police said. He was later released.
The Los Angeles Police Department said officers stopped a group in the area of West Vernon Avenue and South Wilton Place and observed a gun in a parked vehicle. A reason for the initial stop wasn't immediately known.
When officers asked for the keys to the car, a suspect threw them to Lenoir, who kept them from officers before throwing them to a third suspect who tried to hide them from the officers, police said.
Lenoir was arrested due to the lengthy delay and trying to hide the keys, police said.
Lenoir was booked into jail Thursday night and released early Friday morning, according to jail records. A court date was set for July 25.
The 49ers issued the following statement: "We are aware of the matter involving Deommodore Lenoir and are in the process of gathering further information."
Todd Bequette, a Bay Area criminal defense attorney, told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco that he believes Lenoir does not face any serious consequences.
"It's a big nothing," said Bequette, who does not represent Lenoir. "It's a misdemeanor case so he will not have to appear in person on the 25th. His council can appear for him on all misdemeanors. Also, no chance he does jail time. The case of obstruction of justice will either be dismissed or he will be placed on one year of probation with likely no obligations."
Lenoir, 25, has spent his first four seasons in the NFL with the 49ers, playing in 62 games and recording six interceptions.
