According to a report from NFL.com, There was a one-car crash involving a vehicle that was under the name of Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson.
Police found Jackson’s Chevy Silverado hit into a tree on Sunday night with no driver around. The truck had 6.3 grams of marijuana inside it, which is an amount that would be a misdemeanor offense in Florida. Police also found two .38 caliber hollow-point bullets, which are legal in Florida.
“It was a friend of DeSean’s who borrowed his car while he was out of town,” Denise White, Jackson’s representative, told NFL Media. “None of what was in the car was his obviously. He’s dealing with the person that was using it without his knowledge privately. The incident is being handled.”
Jackson says the friend took the car without permission.
Police say Jackson gave them the name of a person he told them was driving the truck, but declined to help them get that driver back to the scene of the crash.
Bucs GM Jason Licht has been made aware of the situation and had the following response.
“We are aware of a one-car accident involving a vehicle registered to DeSean Jackson on the night of Dec. 24. Our understanding is that DeSean has been in contact with authorities and is cooperating with the investigation.”
