Washington Ex Bashaud Breeland Arrest: Drugs, AK-47s, AR-15s and Stolen Car

Officers have arrested former Washington standout Bashaud Breeland. Their evidence: A stolen Mercedes-Benz SUV, 62 grams of suspected illegal mushrooms, more than five pounds of marijuana and eight guns, including two AR-15s and two AK-47s.

Former Washington Commanders starting cornerback Bashaud Breeland has been arrested and now faces charges of possessing a stolen car, a stolen firearm and drugs.

According to a police report in Charlotte, officers found Breeland, 31, with a stolen Mercedes-Benz SUV, 62 grams of suspected illegal mushrooms, more than five pounds of marijuana and eight guns, including two AR-15s and two AK-47s.

Breeland played at Clemson and was drafted by Washington in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He was a four-year starter in Washington and then eventually landed with the Kansas City Chiefs cornerback, and he played with that team during its Super Bowl win in 2020.

Charlotte police officers report having discovered the stash of guns and drugs during a traffic stop at a Circle K on Monday afternoon. Breeland was jailed just after 2 a.m., Tuesday, and was then released after posting a $30,000 bond.

Breeland last played for the Vikings in 2021 - a stint that ended poorly when he reportedly initiated an altercation with coaches and teammates. He lives in Charlotte and recently said he'd like another shot with the Panthers. But his legal issues and his suspension issues are part of his record. In 2020, Breeland was suspended from playing with the Chiefs four games for violating the NFL’s policy and program on substances of abuse. He was also suspended in 2015 while a member of the Washington football team.
