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.

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.

This is a developing story.
