Steelers cornerback Justin Layne was arrested at 3:08 am Friday and is in jail in Lake County, Ohio.
The charges against the 23-year-old include driving under suspension, speed limit violations and having a firearm in the vehicle.
According to reports, Layne was going nearly 90mph in a 60mph zone, had marijuana in the car and a loaded 9mm glock.
The Steelers released the following statement following the incident:
"We are aware of the incident but still gathering information. We will have no further comment at this time."
Two other men were with him in the car, but they were not charged.
The Post-Gazette's Ray Fittipaldo reports that Layne is charged with a fourth-degree felony for improper handling of a firearm.
Layne was a 3rd round pick of the Steelers in 2019 and appeared in all 16 games last season, accumulating 25 total tackles.
He is a native of Cleveland, Ohio.
