Chicago Bears' linebacker Matt Adams was arrested for gun possession on Thursday, according to police.
The 26-year-old, who signed a one-year deal with the Bears in April, was arrested and booked on misdemeanor unlawful use of a weapon, possessing a firearm and was cited for a high capacity magazine and medal piercing bullets, according to the report.
Adams was seen near a Jeep that was reported stolen around 6:45 p.m., which he allegedly revealed he had purchased.
Cops investigated the vehicle and located a loaded handgun and extended mag.
While Adams reportedly has a gun permit, it is not licensed by the state of Illinois.
Adams' arrest comes after Bears receiver Byron Pringle was arrested in April for reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.
Adams has a court date scheduled for Aug. 24.
