Chargers' Denzel Perryman released from custody (Getty Images) Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman has been cleared of felony gun charges and released from custody, according to official records. The 32-year-old veteran, who was arrested last Friday night after a traffic stop led to the discovery of multiple firearms in his vehicle, will not face prosecution. The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office has opted not to pursue charges at this time, marking a significant turn in what could have become a career-altering situation. Denzel Perryman walks free after gun charges dropped, avoids prosecution in shocking legal twist Denzel Perryman had spent the weekend in custody without bail after South Los Angeles Station deputies discovered five firearms — including two assault-style rifles — during a routine traffic stop for vehicle code violations. Despite the seriousness of the initial report, no charges were filed, and Perryman's record will reflect a detention rather than a formal arrest. His agent, Ron Butler, confirmed the decision on Monday. 'We're grateful the matter has been resolved,' Butler said in a statement to The Athletic. 'At this time, Denzel is focused on getting back to his family and teammates.' Perryman was slated to appear in court Tuesday morning, but Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman returned the case to law enforcement for 'further investigation,' leaving Perryman free to resume his football responsibilities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This new air conditioner cools down a room in just seconds News of the Discovery Undo Support from the Chargers and coach Jim Harbaugh Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh personally visited Perryman while he was in custody, reflecting the organization's belief in the veteran's character.
