BREAKING: Police Reach Decision in Ja Morant Gun Investigation
The Glendale Police Department issued a press release regarding Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant's actions in Colorado, which included flashing a gun during an Instagram live video. In their release, the department announced that Morant will not be charged with a crime.
Regarding the incident, circulated on the internet, involving an NBA player. On March 4, 2023, the Glendale Police Department was alerted by members of the media of video circulating on the internet that involved a prominent NBA player singing and holding what appeared to be a firearm by the butt end of a gun for several seconds. Through investigation, the GPD was able to determine the incident took place at Shotgun Willies, located in the City of Glendale, during the club's lawful operating hours. GPD was not able to determine that probable cause existed for the filing of any charges. In this case, it should be noted that on the night in question the GPD did not receive any calls for service at the nightclub regarding a weapon of any type. Subsequently, no disturbances were reported, and no citizens or patrons of the club came forward to make a complaint. The investigation also concluded that no one was threatened or menaced with the firearm and in fact no firearm was ever located. Although the video was concerning enough to prompt an investigation, there was not enough available evidence to charge anyone with a crime. Under our justice system all persons are presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
Above is the statement released by the Glendale Police Department, which announces that Morant will not be charged with a crime for his actions in Colorado. This is great news for Morant and the Grizzlies, but they now must wait for the NBA to complete their investigation, as there could still be punishment coming from the league.
