LOS ANGELES -- Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman was released from police custody Monday afternoon and will not face criminal charges, according to public records, after he was arrested Friday on a felony weapons charge.
Perryman, 32, had been in jail without bail since Friday night, after police pulled him over for vehicle code violations. During a search of his vehicle, police discovered five firearms in his car, including two assault style rifles, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department said in a statement.
Perryman was scheduled to appear at the Inglewood Courthouse on Tuesday morning, but Los Angeles district attorney Nathan Hockman decided not to file criminal charges.
