Saints' Lattimore gets probation, felony gun charge dismissed

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore pleaded guilty last week to a misdemeanor charge of carrying a concealed weapon, according to court records accessed by Amie Just of NOLA.com, and was sentenced to one year of probation.

Lattimore was arrested in March for possessing a loaded handgun that had been reported stolen. He was originally charged with receiving stolen property, a fourth-degree felony because the property in question was a gun. His bond was set at $5,000. That charge was dismissed.

The 2017 Defensive Rookie of the Year, Lattimore earned his third Pro Bowl selection in 2020. The former 11th overall pick inked a five-year, $97-million extension with the Saints in September.
