Former Jets DT Muhammad Wilkerson Arrested for DUI with Loaded Gun

Former NFL defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson was reportedly arrested on multiple charges two weeks ago in New Jersey.

According to TMZ Sports, Wilkerson was pulled over in the early morning hours of Dec. 22. He failed field sobriety tests, and police found an open bottle of tequila and a loaded gun inside his vehicle.

Wilkerson reportedly told police he purchased the gun in Florida, but he did not have the proper documentation, so he was charged with unlawful possession of a handgun and operating a vehicle while under the influence.

The 34-year-old Wilkerson spent eight seasons in the NFL, primarily as a member of the New York Jets.
