New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman found himself in handcuffs after allegedly jumping onto someone’s car, causing damage to the hood.
Edelman, 33, was arrested and cited for misdemeanor vandalism late Saturday night in Beverly Hills, California, after police say he jumped on the hood of a vehicle around 9 p.m. local time. It’s unclear why he hopped onto the car.
The NFL player was released soon after the arrest and is set to appear at Airport Courthouse on April 13.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Edelman had been drinking prior to the incident. He was seen in an Instagram post hanging out with former Boston Celtics star and current ESPN NBA analyst Paul Pierce and former fellow New England player Danny Amendola that night.
Edelman, who is from Redwood City, California, was named Most Valuable Player in Super Bowl LIII and was the team’s leading receiver in 2019. His arrest comes as he was fresh off a play-off loss to the Tennessee Titans, who went on to defeat the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday.
