Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman was arrested in Beverly Hills and charged with vandalism for allegedly jumping on someone’s car, police told the Herald.
Edelman allegedly caused damage to a parked vehicle by jumping on its hood. The 33-year-old was released the same night. It is unclear whether the Los Angeles County D.A. will file charges.
In a statement, Beverly Hills police said Edelman’s alleged jump onto the car occurred at about 9 p.m. and happened in the 200-block of North Beverly Drive.
Paul Pierce, on his official Instagram page, posted a photograph of himself with Edelman and former Pats wideout Danny Amendola Saturday night tagged with a location at Cantina Frida, a restaurant in the same block as the alleged incident.
Edelman was released with a citation. He is scheduled to appear in a California courtroom on April 13, 2020.
The Patriots are aware of the arrest and had no comment, according to a team spokesman.
The arrest was first reported by TMZ.com.
The Herald reported Friday Edelman faces two surgeries this offseason to remove a loose body in his left knee and fix the separated AC joint in his left shoulder. He played all 16 games last season and made three catches and scored one rushing touchdown in the Pats’ 14-13 loss to Tennessee in the Wild Card round.
