From [HERE] The Wayne County Prosecutor's office is reviewing a warrant request for the arrest of Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams on a concealed weapon charge, WXYZ-TV in Detroit reported Tuesday.

The warrant request on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon in a motor vehicle was issued late last week by the Detroit Police Department, stemming from a traffic stop on Oct. 8.

In a statement released later Tuesday, the Detroit Police Department said the investigation "continues to evolve, and new information has come to light that we are actively addressing."

"We take every investigation seriously, especially when new allegations and facts emerge, and we are committed to acting in a swift and transparent manner," the department said in its statement. "Once new facts are confirmed, we make the necessary changes in our decision-making process.

"Let it be clear: no one in the City of Detroit is above the law. Anyone who commits a crime will be held accountable, regardless of their position or status."

The warrant request was made after an internal affairs investigation was opened after WXYZ-TV asked the police department about why Williams wasn't taken into custody.

"On October 8, my clients were pulled over for an alleged traffic violation. During the course of the stop, my clients were both cooperative and respectful with the police officers. With the two pistols that were found in the vehicle, they were both properly registered and the driver in the vehicle had the proper credentials to carry them. We have cooperated with law enforcement and will continue to do so," Williams' attorney, Todd Flood, said in a statement released to WXYZ-TV.

Ahead of practice on Wednesday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell addressed the incident, saying he knew about it before the reports surfaced this week and that Williams been truthful with him throughout the process.

"It certainly doesn't look good, I get that," said Campbell. "But at the same token, it kind of all came on here at the same time and it's really decision-making for him. And that's where he knows he can be better. Don't put yourself in those situations."

According to the report, Williams was riding as a passenger in a vehicle driven by his brother when they were stopped after midnight. Police asked Williams' brother if there were any weapons in the vehicle, and he said there were two guns -- one in the back seat and one under Jameson Williams' passenger seat.

The gun in the back seat was registered to Williams' brother, who had a concealed pistol license. The gun under the passenger seat was registered to Jameson Williams, who did not have a concealed pistol license, according to the report. Jameson Williams, who repeatedly identified himself as a player for the Lions during the stop according to body camera audio, was handcuffed and put in the back of a police car.

"I feel that there was probable cause to arrest, and he was under arrest by the patrol officer," Detroit Police Commander Michael McGinnis told WXYZ-TV. "And because of that, he should have been conveyed to the Detroit Detention Center and processed."

However, a supervisor and later a sergeant arrived at the scene and Williams was released after the sergeant made several phone calls to higher-ranking officers to find out if Williams should be arrested or if the concealed pistol license belonging to his brother covered both guns. Finally, he made a call to a lieutenant, whose comments cannot be heard in the body camera audio, and Williams was taken out of handcuffs and let go. No report was written by police on the traffic stop, according to the report.

When first questioned by WXYZ-TV, a deputy chief in the department said there was only one gun in the car; however, when Chief James White learned about the second gun in the vehicle, he shared parts of the body camera footage with the station and ordered the investigation.

"Jameson made us aware immediately that he was a passenger in a routine traffic stop on October 8th. We discussed the incident with him and have kept the league informed of what we know," the Lions said in a statement to WXYZ-TV. "We understand he was released without incident or citation. It is now our understanding that the Detroit Police Department is revisiting the matter. Jameson has hired an attorney, and we will not be commenting further out of respect for the legal process."
