Pro Bowler Popped For Shotgun Formation

Posted Feb 15th 2009 2:30PM by TMZ Staff

Plaxico BurressMove over Plaxico Burress. There's a new alleged gun-toting NFL sheriff in town.

Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch -- who just played in the Pro Bowl last week -- was arrested on Wednesday in Culver City, Cal. for allegedly packing some serious heat.

Culver City cops say they found Lynch and two other males sitting in a 2006 Mercedes Benz -- and a "subsequent field investigation led to the discovery of a loaded firearm... The officers determined the gun belonged to Lynch." The type of gun has not been released.

Marshawn was arrested for felony possession of a concealed firearm and was released on $35,000 bond.

UPDATE: 3/5/09 -- Lynch pled quilty to a misdemeanor charge of carrying a firearm in his vehicle. He was given 80 hours community service and 3 years probation.

2. Hey whats this guy thinking? Everyone knows only criminals and people of real importance can carry firearms. Someone thinking they can carry a firearm to protect themselves is just plan crazy, I mean that 2nd Ammendment was just such a waste of ink.

5. TMZ fails to mention that the cop recognized Lynch before going up to the three balck men in a benz. He has the right to protect himself. Does anybody recall Shawn Taylor or that Denver CB. How many pro athletes have been harmed just minding there own business. Lynch was also a target in a drive by shooting a few years ago in Cali. So the people making negative comments about him LICK FOOTBALLS.

10. Not in CC is right, you get pulled over just for being black in Culver City. The "subsequent field investigation" occured because 3 black guys were in a car, a Mercedes at that.
