The Detroit Lions issued a statement on a recent traffic stop involving wide receiver Jameson Williams.

 The incident stems from a routine traffic stop on Oct. 8, where two pistals were found in a vehicle driven by someone else, with Williams in. the passenger seat.

 “Jameson made us aware immediately that he was a passenger in a routine traffic stop on October 8th. We discussed the incident with him and have kept the league informed of what we know. We understand he was released without incident or citation. It is now our understanding that the Detroit Police Department is revisiting the matter. Jameson has hired an attorney, and we will not be commenting further out of respect for the legal process,” the Lions said in a statement.

 Williams’ attorney, Todd Flood, issued the following statement on the incident:

 “On October 8, my clients were pulled over for an alleged traffic violation. During the course of the stop, my clients were both cooperative and respectful with the police officers. With the two pistols that were found in the vehicle, they were both properly registered and the driver in the vehicle had the proper credentials to carry them. We have cooperated with law enforcement and will continue to do so.”

 We’re working to gather more information on this story.

 Williams, 23, is currently serving a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug use policy.

 “This investigation continues to evolve, and new information has come to light that we are actively addressing.

 We take every investigation seriously, especially when new allegations and facts emerge, and we are committed to acting in a swift and transparent manner. Once new facts are confirmed, we make the necessary changes in our decision-making process. Let it be clear: no one in the City of Detroit is above the law. Anyone who commits a crime will be held accountable, regardless of their position or status.
