Yes this the same Glenn Coffee who retired abruptly from the 49ers claiming that “God” was calling him. No word on if “God” told him to be strapped with an illegal weapon in his car, but I digress.
TMZ has the details:
Glen Coffee — the former San Francisco 49ers star who recently retired after one season to pursue a religious calling — was arrested for illegally carrying a “cocked” automatic pistol in his car.
According to police in Fort Walton Beach, Florida … 23-year-old Coffee was pulled over for speeding … but cops quickly discovered that Glen’s vehicle — a 2008 Cadillac — had no registration or insurance.
Because the vehicle was deemed “unlawful to be on the roadway,” cops called for the Cadillac to be towed … but first, they ran a quick search — and found a “black 380 SIG Sauer automatic pistol.”
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ … “The pistol was recovered with the hammer ‘cocked’ to the rear. It was located in the center console … readily accessible to Coffee.”
I don’t know if Coffee thought Bishop Long was after him or whatever the case, it is never a good thing to be driving around with a loaded and cocked gun in your possession unless you are hanging out with former Jacksonville Jaguars cheerleaders.
This isn’t Boyz n da Hood and I don’t know what missionary work requires you to be holding like you were Chris Brown in “Takers”.
Maybe he has a reasonable explanation, maybe he doesn’t, but my point remains the same you never truly know who these athletes are just by what they say in the media so always take it with a grain of salt.
Hopefully the Lord will forgive him.
