A case involving a car owned by Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson, hollow-point bullets and marijuana is inactive, and Tampa police do not believe the NFL star is at fault, ESPN reported.
A blue 2016 Chevy Silverado crashed into a tree and was found abandoned on Christmas Eve, according to a Tampa police report. The truck belongs to Jackson, and police found two hollow-point .38-caliber bullets and 6.3 grams of marijuana inside.
Jackson told police he was out of town at the time of the incident. He originally tried to report the vehicle as stolen, but later said a friend, Therrian Fontenot, had borrowed the car without his permission. Fontenot spent time with four NFL teams from 2005-08, including the Eagles when Jackson was there in 2007 and 2008.
Tampa police did not receive security footage from a shopping mall near where the accident took place, and Jackson has not helped them with pursuing Fontenot as a suspect, so the case is now inactive. Fontenot had a warrant for his arrest related to traffic offenses, according to ESPN.
Jackson had 50 catches for 668 yards last season, which was his first with the Buccaneers after three years in Washington and six in Philadelphia.
