New York Jets player reaches deal on airport gun charge
NEW YORK – A New York Jets player has reached a deal with prosecutors downgrading criminal charges he tried to bring a gun on a commercial flight to LaGuardia Airport.
Quinnen Williams admitted to a violation of disorderly conduct on Monday to settle criminal gun charges accusing him of carrying a pistol when boarding the flight to New York from Alabama in March. The plea deal requires him to forfeit the gun and pay a $250 fine.
“As we said from the outset, this matter has been resolved with no criminal charges,” defence attorney Alex Spiro said in a statement. “This case was nothing more than a technical issue with the storing of a firearm.”
The 22-year-old Williams was drafted No. 3 overall by the Jets in 2019 from the University of Alabama.
