Bashaud Breeland, Former NFL CB, Arrested Over Tremendous Haul That Includes Stolen Vehicle, Four Guns, Pounds of Weed and Magical 'Shrooms

Former NFL cornerback Bashaud Breeland entered a world of trouble, just two years since his last snap in the league.

Breeland was held in Mecklenburg County Jail early Tuesday after North Carolina authorities found the 31-year-old driving a stolen vehicle packed with a crazy haul of items set to begin a legal nightmare for the ex-CB.

Bashaud Breeland's Magic Trip Comes To Hard Stop

In the vehicle, Breeland possessed four firearms — two AR-15s and two AK47s — 5 pounds of marijuana and 62 grams of 'shrooms.

Details from the police report noted that the Mercedes-Benz SUV Breeland had been driving was stolen.

As reported by WCNC, Breeland faces several charges, including "possession of a stolen vehicle, altering serial numbers, altering title and possession of a stolen firearm."

Breeland's drug charges include "possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana and a Schedule I substance (heroin, LSD, marijuana and ecstasy)." He was previously arrested in 2020 for marijuana possession.

The traffic stop occurred Monday. Breeland left the jail hours after his arrest, posting $30,000 in bond.

Breeland is an NFL free agent. He last joined the Minnesota Vikings in 2021. The year prior, Breeland won the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs.

He started that 2020 season suspended for four games after violating the NFL's substance abuse guidelines.

For the first half of his career, namely with Washington, Breeland played a consistent starter's role. He nearly secured a three-year, $24 million contract with the Carolina Panthers in 2018 but lost out because of a non-football injury.

It's hard to imagine a guy like Breeland getting another shot at the pros. Then again, after Dallas' reported interest in former Raiders CB Damon Arnette, anything is possible.
