Patriots CB Joejuan Williams arrested after Nashville traffic stop

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots cornerback Joejuan Williams, a 2019 second-round draft choice from Vanderbilt, was arrested Friday in Nashville, Tennessee, after officers stopped him for speeding and found that he had a controlled substance, drug paraphernalia and prescription drugs without a prescription, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

The 22-year-old Williams was pulled over on Interstate 40 in a 2016 Land Rover at 9:37 p.m. CT, the Highway Patrol said.

He is the second Patriots player arrested this offseason, following wide receiver Julian Edelman, who was cited for misdemeanor vandalism by police in Beverly Hills, California, on Jan.
