No charges filed against Lions WR Jameson Williams in gun case

(CBS DETROIT) — The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office has declined to press charges against Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams following an investigation into carrying a concealed weapon. 
Officials say the 23-year-old Williams and his brother, who was driving a black sedan, were pulled over around 1 a.m. on Oct. 8 for allegedly speeding and driving in an unsafe manner. The wide receiver’s brother told officers that there were two weapons inside the vehicle. Williams’ brother reportedly showed police a valid Concealed Pistol License (CPL), as well as a driver’s license, proof of insurance and registration.
According to the prosecutor’s office, police found a weapon registered to Williams on the front passenger floorboard. A second weapon was found on the floorboard behind the driver’s seat. 
Williams was taken into custody for carrying a concealed weapon but later released at the scene when a Detroit Police Department supervisor arrived. His brother was issued traffic citations. 
While investigating, the prosecutor’s office says it could not find another case where the following facts applied: 
“Because the case law is silent regarding the specific issue, and the legislative intent of the CPL statute does not support charges under these facts, no charges will issue in this matter, and the warrant is denied,” the prosecutor’s office said.   
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy issued the following statement on her decision not to charge Williams: 
Criminal defense attorney Jeff Kramer, who has defended several cases involving concealed carry, says he’s not shocked by the end result.
However, he doesn’t think Worthy would’ve spent so much time evaluating the case had it not involved Williams. 
“If this was Joe Smith pulled over, the officer would’ve sent the warrant request and it would’ve been approved without any questions being asked,” Kramer said.
