Linebacker Matt Adams, who followed head coach Matt Eberflus from the Colts to the Bears this offseason, was arrested Thursday night and charged with misdemeanor illegal gun possession and possessing a high-capacity magazine and metal-piercing bullets, according to police.
Possessing a high-capacity magazine and metal-piercing bullets within the Chicago city limits is a municipal code violation. Police found them while searching a vehicle that had been reported stolen after they arrested Adams on Garland Court, which is near Lake St. and Michigan Ave. He has a court date scheduled for Aug. 24.
Police questioned Adams after he was spotted near the vehicle, according to a police report.
