Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman remained behind bars Saturday after he was taken into custody on weapons charges, authorities said.

Los Angeles Sheriff’s deputies said multiple guns were discovered during a traffic stop Friday. 

At least two of the guns found are classified as assault weapons, according to law enforcement.

“On August 1, 2025, at 9:30 p.m., South Los Angeles Station deputies conducted a traffic stop on Los Angeles Chargers football player Denzel Perryman, 32, for vehicle code violations,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement. 

“During the traffic stop, deputies discovered five firearms in Mr. Perryman’s vehicle, two of which were assault-style rifles.”

The NFL veteran was cooperative with authorities during the traffic stop, according to an incident report.

Perryman was booked on felony charges shortly after 10 p.m., records say. He is being held without bond at the South Los Angeles Sheriff’s Station, the sheriff’s department confirmed.

Ron Butler, Perryman’s agent, said the Pro Bowl defender was in contact with legal experts.

“Denzel and our team are still gathering information and working closely with legal counsel,” Butler told ESPN. “While I can’t speak to the details at this time, we’re confident things will be handled appropriately through the legal process.”

Perryman is scheduled to appear at Inglewood Court Tuesday, the sheriff’s department said.

“We are aware of a matter involving Denzel and are gathering information,” the team said in a statement.

Perryman played for the Chargers from 2017-20 and returned to the team in 2024. Perryman also had stints with the Houston Texans and the Las Vegas Raiders.
