Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams avoids NFL discipline over gun incident in Detroit, per reports
DETROIT – Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has avoided disciplinary actions from the National Football League following his gun incident, per reports.
According to ESPN, an NFL spokesman confirmed on Wednesday (Feb. 19) that the matter has been closed.
On Oct. 8, 2024, around 12 a.m., Williams and his brother, who was the driver, were arrested by Detroit police on Conner Street and Jefferson Avenue for carrying an unlicensed gun.
The gun was located in the backseat of the vehicle under Williams’ seat, according to officials.
Police said two guns were discovered in the vehicle, with one registered to Williams, 23, and one to his brother. He obtained a concealed pistol license after the initial arrest.
The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office declined to charge the talented speedster for the incident.
However, Williams was suspended by the league twice for a combined six games in his first three seasons with the Lions for violating the league’s gambling rules while in the team’s facility and the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy.
Although he has dealt with some off-the-field issues, his on-field production has been unmatched, and he is coming off a career year.
During the 2024 season, Williams caught 58 passes for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games.
He has accumulated 10 touchdowns in 33 career games throughout his young career since the Lions selected him with the No. 12 pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
