ENGLEWOOD, Colo.— A Washington Redskins player is facing five charges, including felony illegal discharge of a firearm, following his arrest in a Denver suburb Saturday morning.

The Douglas County sheriff’s office says deputies arrested 27-year-old Cody Latimer after responding to a report of shots fired inside an apartment in Englewood, Colorado.

“We are aware of the situation and have informed the NFL League Office,” a Washington Redskins team spokesman said. “We will continue to gather more information and have no further comment at this time.”

Deputies say they found three individuals in the apartment at the Zenith Meridian Apartments, one with minor injuries unrelated to a gunshot.

Latimer was taken into custody and is also facing charges of second-degree assault, menacing, prohibited use of a weapon and reckless endangerment.

Latimer posted a $25,000 bond and was released later Saturday morning.

Latimer, a wide receiver, joined the Redskins in March after two years with the New York Giants and four years before that with the Denver Broncos.

The sheriff’s office says it is continuing to investigate.

Another NFL player seems to be in trouble.

Two days after Miramar, Florida, police announced arrest warrants for cornerbacks DeAndre Baker and Quinton Dunbar for armed robbery and aggravated assault, former Giant wide receiver Cody Latimer was arrested and charged on felony charges of assault in the second degree, menacing and illegal discharge of a firearm in Colorado, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department.

A police report said a witness heard gunshots and arguing inside an apartment. One unidentified person was later said to have minor injuries not related to a gunshot. Latimer, 27, was released on a $25,000 bond. He also is facing misdemeanor charges of prohibited use of a weapon and reckless endangerment.

“There’s an entire back story to this situation that constitutes one of the most highly provocative situations you can imagine,” said Latimer’s attorney Harvey Steinberg, according to ESPN. “Please withhold judgment until all the facts of what took place that night are known.”

After spending the past two seasons with the Giants, Latimer signed a one-year, $1.04 million contract with the Redskins. He spent the first four years of his career with the Broncos.

Baker, the 22-year-old Giants player, turned himself in to police Saturday. 

MEDICINE HAT, AB — A former member of the Medicine Hat Rattlers men’s basketball team facing an assault charge last year has received an absolute discharge.

Kieron Burgess, 24 appeared in Medicine Hat provincial court on Thursday, where he pleaded guilty and received an absolute discharge. Burgess, along with Collin Ralko, 22, was charged with one count of assault with a weapon in connection with the November 25 incident.

The pair were alleged to have fired an airsoft gun from a vehicle in the 400 block of North Railway Street on November 25, causing minor injuries to a bystander.

The Criminal Code of Canada says an absolute discharge is granted by the court “if it considers it to be in the best interests of the accused and not contrary to the public interest.”

Under the discharge, no conviction is registered, but the discharge will stay on the criminal record for one year before it is expunged.

Ralko’s charge remains before the courts. He is scheduled to return to court on February 8.
