Jets running back Chris Johnson was arrested Friday night in his hometown of Orlando for open carrying of a firearm, a second degree misdemeanor, per Pro Football Talk.
Johnson has a license to carry in the state of Florida, but the Sunshine State along with five other states (California, New York, Illinois, South Carolina and Texas) have banned open carry of handguns. At this point, neither details about the incident, nor an immediate court date have been made available.
Johnson signed a two-year, $4 million contract last year. He rushed for a career-low 663 yards and one touchdown in his first season for Gang Green. Johnson is due approximately $2 million next season, but with a new front office expected to take over in New York, his future remains uncertain.
