San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday night on a charge of obstruction of justice, police said.
Lenoir, 25, was released from jail early Friday morning and is scheduled to appear in court next month, according to multiple reports.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers approached a group that included Lenoir and observed a gun inside a parked vehicle.
When police asked for the keys, another man tossed them to Lenoir. Lenoir then threw the keys to a third man who tried to hide them, according to records and statements obtained by NBC Bay Area.
The 49ers have not released a statement on the matter.
Lenoir signed a five-year, $92 million extension last November with the 49ers, who drafted the Los Angeles native in the fifth round in 2021.
Lenoir has recorded six interceptions, 26 passes defensed and 265 tackles in 62 games (47 starts) through his first four seasons with San Francisco.
