Los Angeles Rams defensive end Ethan Westbrooks was arrested over the weekend in Bakersfield, the Southern California News Group has confirmed.
According to sources, Westbrooks was pulled over by California Highway patrol in Bakersfield for speeding, at which point police found a gun in Westbrooks’ vehicle that was not registered to him.
Westbrooks was arrested and taken into custody and was later released on bail.
According to Kern County CHP, Westbrooks was arrested for receiving known stolen property, carrying a loaded firearm, carrying a loaded stolen weapon, grand theft of firearm and possessing a high capacity large magazine.
All five are felony charges.
It’s the second brush with the law for Westbrooks in less than a year. He was arrested last March on suspicion of domestic violence in Sacramento, although the Sacramento County district attorney declined to file charges.
Westbrooks has returned to Thousand Oaks with the Rams, who will practice Monday afternoon.
