College Basketball Player Arrested In NYC For The NBA Draft With Loaded Gun
The 2024 NBA Draft week saw a host of college basketball talents in New York City. While most of them made a name for themselves thanks to their NBA drafting, one talent made the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Jeremiah Davenport was the culprit in this case, as he was arrested by police due to illegal possession of firearms.
According to Police reports, a black BMW X5 was parked on the northwest corner of Nagel Avenue and West 204th Street. The windows were tinted, and a hint of smoke was coming out. Police examined the scene and asked for identification proof, which Davenport and another unidentified man with him failed to produce.
The officer on the spot then saw a loaded firearm in the backseat, and the duo were swiftly taken to custody. Davenport was then prosecuted and charged with criminal possession of a loaded firearm, unlawful possession of an ammo feed device, and tinted windows.
The college basketball guard was later released and and is yet to comment on the matter.
