Over the weekend, Denver Broncos Cody Latimer found himself in a very odd situation after a domestic dispute with his girlfriend.
According to TMZ, Latimer took proper precautions and called the cops to report that his girlfriend had “put her hands on him.” However, when the police arrived, they ran both Latimer and his girlfriend’s name through the system, as standard procedure. Shortly after, the wide receiver ended up in cuffs.
Apparently, there was a warrant out for Latimer’s arrest for failure to appear in court over an old traffic violation. Because of this, the officers arrested Latimer for the outstanding warrant. His girlfriend was arrested for assault and disturbing the peace.
Latimer was released after paying a $311.50 fine. He also bailed out his girlfriend.
Following the incident, Latimer took to Instagram to address the situation.
“I reached out to the team on Monday to let them know of a personal issue that I dealt with over the weekend. I believe I handled it the right way, but I had no idea of the unrelated unpaid traffic ticket. That’s completely on me, and I took care of that today…Back to football.”
