Chicago Bears LB Matthew Adams in custody after being arrested

Adams was reportedly questioned by the police on Thursday evening after he was spotted in the area of a stolen Jeep. He told the police that he had purchased the vehicle but after a search of the Jeep, the police found a loaded handgun and an extended mag of ammunition in the trunk.

From TMZ:

Adams was arrested and booked on misdemeanor unlawful use of a weapon — carrying/possessing a firearm … and was cited for having a high capacity magazine and metal piercing bullets.

We’re told Adams had a permit for the gun … but it was NOT issued by the state of Illinois.

Adams — who is still in custody at the time of this post — is due in court in August.

As for the car, we’re told the owner did not want to press charges … chalking the whole thing up as a misunderstanding.
