Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Justin Layne has been released from a jail in Lake County, Ohio after his early Friday morning arrest but faces a felony charge for a firearm he was carrying in his vehicle.
Layne, according to the police report, was pulled over just after 3 a.m. on Friday in Willoughby Hills, Ohio on suspicion of speeding. It was then discovered that former third-round draft pick out of Michigan State was driving with a suspended license and there was a warrant out for his arrest from a neighboring community.
A loaded handgun was also found in Layne’s vehicle, according to the report, which would be a violation of Ohio’s laws regarding the transportation of firearms.
