Former NFL cornerback Bashaud Breeland was arrested for the second time in nine months after he allegedly assaulted several police officers while they were responding to a drug-related call.
On Saturday, members of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department responded to a call, resulting in Breeland’s attempted arrest.
Breeland was allegedly not handcuffed smoothly, assaulting several police officers before being booked into jail.
The 2020 Super Bowl winner with the Chiefs now faces assault charges in addition to the drug charges for which he would have been booked without resisting arrest, according to The Charlotte Observer.
Last August, Breeland was also arrested after he was found with drugs, weapons and a stolen car. Breeland’s 2023 case is still pending, according to The Charlotte Observer. His next court date is scheduled for October.
Breeland was jailed over the weekend on multiple assault and drug charges.
Breeland was drafted by the Commanders but recently played in the NFL for the Vikings.
At the time of Breeland’s second arrest in nine months, firearms were also found in the home where he was detained.
Breeland has not played in the NFL since 2021 with the Minnesota Vikings. He spent two years with the Kansas City Chiefs and was drafted by the Washington Commanders.
Among the drugs found in Breeland’s possession were allegedly several containers of likely marijuana and five bottles of promethazine hydrochloride, which is a sedative used to treat nausea.
Breeland, 31, was also previously arrested in August 2020 on drug and alcohol and resisting arrest charges.
He pleaded guilty in October 2020 and was sentenced to 30 days in jail for that incident.
