Los Angeles Rams defensive end Ethan Westbrooks was arrested Friday night on suspicion of carrying a loaded stolen firearm, according to California Highway Patrol records obtained by NFL.com.
Westbrooks was arrested on five felony charges of receiving stolen property, carrying a loaded firearm, carrying a stolen loaded firearm, grand theft of a firearm and possession of a high capacity magazine, according to police records.
Westbrooks was arrested without incident following a traffic stop on Interstate 5 west of Bakersfield, California. According to the police report, the arresting officer stopped Westbrooks after he noticed him driving at a high rate of speed. After stopping Westbrooks, the officer observed a handgun in the vehicle and determined it was loaded. A records check of handgun revealed the gun was reported stolen. Westbrooks was then placed under arrest.
Westbrooks was booked into the Kern County Jail Receiving Facility in Bakersfield before being released. The California Highway Patrol arrest-investigation report has been forwarded to the Kern County District Attorney Office for review.
In March, Westbrooks was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in Sacramento, California. Westbrooks has played in 53 games with the Rams since signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2014.
Westbrooks faces the possibility of discipline from the NFL under the league's personal conduct policy.

When you are transporting drugs or other contraband rule number 1 is to obey the speed limit. Jails are full of people who forget that rule.
More oppression by the white man...
If you are going to Break the Law, only Break one Law at a time.
Got Drugs, follow the speed limit
Got Stolen Gun in Lap, follow speed limit
Add him to the National Felon League database.
DOn’t worry folks, this was in California
thanks to prop 47, prop 57 and AB109 at his arraignment All charges will likely be dropped and he will plead to misdemeanor reckless driving, pay his fine and be on the field Next Week.
Hell, even if he Plead Guilty to ALL the charges he would most likely serve about 10 days total in jail.
Quick! Take a knee!
How much are they paying these stupid jocks? Are these people so wealthy they don't have to worry about common sense or laws?
You know, I looked at that picture for a long moment before I realized it was a joke.
Cry racism!
They just be doin diz cauze da Brother don took a knee against recist cops like dis.
Maybe he’s looking for a chance to take a knee in prison.
Well why not one BLM/NFL thug is arrested ea h week.
If you are going to carry you have to drive precisely within the rules. You don’t know what attitude toward guns that cop who stops you for weaving or speeding might have. And if you are illegally carrying and it is a stolen gun, well, I would think that you would be staying 2 mph below the speed limit and driving very carefully.
