Saquon Barkley’s father was reportedly arrested earlier this week.

Barkley, who is looking forward to his first season with the Philadelphia Eagles, has previously spoken about his father’s struggles with law enforcement and will likely be disturbed to learn he has had another brush.

According to FOX News’ Greg Thompson, Alibay Barkley was pulled over by police during a traffic stop in the Bronx, and a loaded gun was found in his car. The elder Barkley could be charged with criminal gun possession.

“A law enforcement source tells me that Alibay Barkley, the father of former #Giants and current #Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was pulled over in the Bronx for a traffic stop and was found with a gun. He could be charged with criminal possession of a weapon,” Thompson reported late on Thursday night.

“I’m told this happened yesterday at the corner of East 140th and 3rd Ave in Mott Haven. Sources say the gun was loaded,” he added later on.

Saquon Barkley Discussed His Father’s Mistakes Several Years Ago

As mentioned above, Saquon Barkley has opened up on his father’s experiences before. Back in 2018, he credited his old man for having a frank conversation with him as a youngster that helped keep him on the right path.

“My dad has been through a lot. He made that a big point when I was young: Don’t make the same mistakes he did in life,” he told Lancaster Online.

“You have to respect him as a man. A lot of people can’t look their kids in the face and tell them the decisions that they made were awful and the mistakes they made were bad. That helped me.”

The Eagles running back said his dad spent a year at Riker’s Island on a gun charge when he was 19.

A representative for the player said he had no information on the arrest, while the NYPD has refused to comment.

REPORT: One Major Concern Is Developing In Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift Relationship As One-Year Anniversary Draws Closer

People close to Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift are reportedly worried about an issue arising in her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are approaching their one-year anniversary as a couple. While things appear to be going well for the most part, a new report indicates that a pivotal issue could emerge soon.

Speaking to Life & Style, an insider stated that Swift is going through significant “separation anxiety”, as the two are about to spend considerable time apart. Swift is apparently adamant about Kelce coming on tour with her, but her friends believe the 34-year-old would benefit from some alone time:

“They’re going to be facing their longest time apart. He’ll make some trips to see her, but she can’t be leaving tour to see him so she’s got to leave this all up to him and it’s making her very anxious. Her separation anxiety has kicked in big time and it’s very worrisome for friends who think it’s a bad sign that she’s so panicked about having to have time apart from him.

But from her friends’ perspective, she ought to be able to enjoy her own company still. Before he came along, she was so excited about touring, and now it’s like she can’t enjoy it unless he’s with her.”

Complicating matters is the fact that Travis Kelce himself will soon enter his busiest time of the calendar year, too. The Chiefs begin mandatory minicamp next week, and before they know it, the 2024 regular season will be kicking off at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 5.

Kansas City will host Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL Kickoff Game on Sept. 5. Depending how far the Chiefs go in the playoffs, they’ll be playing until at least early January and as far as Super Bowl 59 on Feb. 9.

Taylor Swift attended 13 Chiefs games last season, including all four of their playoff games. She attended Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas, Nevada to see Travis Kelce and the Chiefs pull off the first NFL repeat in 19 years.

Travis Kelce & Chiefs Look To Make History In 2024

The Chiefs already secured themselves as a dynasty by winning their third Super Bowl in just five years. Up next, they’ll aim to complete the first three-peat in NFL history.

Anything Kelce and the Chiefs accomplish over these next few years is just gravy. They’ve cemented themselves as the new golden franchise. But it would be something of epic proportions if they somehow pulled off the three-peat.
