Louisville football senior cornerback Alphonso Carter has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of carrying a concealed deadly weapon. Carter was originally facing a Class-D felony charge of tampering with physical evidence, stemming from a traffic stop last December.

On December 6th, Carter was pulled over for running a red light on South 15th Street. When the police asked Carter to step out of his vehicle, he appeared to be very nervous, and subsequently told the officers that he had a loaded handgun under his driver’s seat and that he had hid it there while he was being pulled over.
