San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was arrested Thursday in Los Angeles and charged on a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest, the Los Angeles Police Department told NFL Media.
Lenoir, 25, was arrested at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, according to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department's Inmate Information Center, and was released Friday on his own recognizance. He is due in L.A. Superior Court on July 25.
"We are aware of the matter involving Deommodore Lenoir and are in the process of gathering further information," the 49ers said in a team statement.
According to the LAPD, Lenoir's arrest charge was for penal code 148(a)(1), also known as resisting arrest: "Every person who willfully resists, delays, or obstructs any public officer, peace officer, or an emergency medical technician."
Lenoir was arrested along with Marcus Cunningham, 25. Cunningham was charged on felony possession of a concealed firearm in a vehicle.
Lenoir is a Los Angeles native who attended Salesian High.
