Deommodore Lenoir, a second-year cornerback for the San Francisco 49ers, was arrested by squad earlier this week on an arrest obstructioning charge. That’s exactly what happened in Los Angeles, California. Lenoir was said to have tossed the keys to another passenger, who attempted to conceal them from police. This incident has raised concerns about what he’s doing off the field. These worries follow quickly on the heels of his recent contract extension with the team.
Lenoir, who is from Los Angeles, was let out of jail early Friday morning, after being apprehended Thursday. He is due back in court next month to fight the criminal charges that have been leveled against him. This tragic sequence of events began when police attempted to stop Lenoir and a passenger. Lenoir was given keys from that individual and proceeded to toss them to another individual causing the obstruction charge.
On November 14, 2022, Lenoir signed a five-year contract extension with the 49ers. The contract, which totaled $92 million, locked him in as the anchor for that unit’s impressive front seven. As a result, Lenoir fell to the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Since then, he has been a difference-making addition to their offensive line. Through his first four seasons, he has tallied six interceptions, 26 passes defended, and 265 tackles.
The San Francisco 49ers organization has acknowledged the situation, stating, “We are aware of the matter involving Deommodore Lenoir and are in the process of gathering further information.”
Lenoir is looking forward to making his case in court. The entire tenor of this legal battle could have real effects on his short-term projection and long-term viability with the team. Whether you’re a fan or team official, it’s an exciting time to be watching closely as more details are revealed in the coming weeks.
