Bills player arrested for concealed gun

Buffalo Bills

Buffalo Bills Defensive Tackle Adolphus Washington has been arrested in Ohio on a weapons charge.

The Cincinnati native and former Ohio State standout is accused of improperly carrying a concealed weapon outside a water park in Sharonville. A police report says officers were breaking up a crowd at the water park Sunday night when Washington "reached for and displayed a gun while sitting inside his vehicle, just feet away from officers."

Washington was processed at the Sharonville Police Department and released.

The Buffalo Bills released a statement Monday night saying they're aware of the situation and have been in contact with Washington. The Bills have been off on break since mid-June before players begin reporting for training camp, which opens July 27.
