NFL’s Muhammad Wilkerson Arrested, Accused Of Driving Drunk W/ Loaded Gun In Car

Former NFL star Muhammad Wilkerson was arrested again last week … after cops say he drove drunk with a loaded gun tucked beneath his car seat.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, Wilkerson was initially pulled over by police in Morris County, New Jersey back on Dec. 22 at 6:41 AM.

During the stop, cops suspected he was under the influence … saying a strong odor of alcohol was emanating from the former New York Jets pass rusher’s ride.

In the docs, cops say at one point during questioning, Wilkerson told them he was coming from a New York City club … and a short time later, they say he failed field sobriety tests.

Wilkerson was placed under arrest — and afterward, cops said during a search of his vehicle they not only found an open bottle of Don Julio tequila … but also an FN 509 Tactical Handgun with 11 hollow point bullets inside of it.

Police said Wilkerson told them the firearm was purchased in Florida — but he did not provide them proper documentation.

Court records show Wilkerson has since been tagged with a bevy of charges in the case — including operating a vehicle while under the influence and unlawful possession of a handgun.

He’s due in court for hearings on the matter next month.

This, of course, is not the first time Wilkerson has been accused of drinking and driving … he was arrested for DWI in 2020 and 2019 as well.
