Sources: College basketball player Jeremiah Davenport arrested for carrying loaded gun in NYC

A college basketball player who was in town for the NBA draft was arrested in Washington Heights early Saturday after police found a loaded gun in a car he was in, police sources said.

Shortly after 1:30 a.m., police saw a black BMW X5 with tinted windows double parked at the northwest corner of Nagel Avenue and West 204th Street, authorities said.

Inside the car, police sources said, were Jeremiah Davenport, 25, a graduate of the University of Arkansas Razorbacks, and another 24-year-old man.

When police stopped the car, they noticed marijuana smoke coming from the vehicle, cops said.

When asked by police, Davenport was unable to identify himself; the police saw a firearm clearly visible behind the passenger seat.

Both men were arrested, but the second was released after the Manhattan district attorney’s office declined to prosecute him, police sources said.

Charges against Davenport include illegal possession of a loaded firearm, illegal possession of an ammunition feeding device and tinted windows, police said.

He appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court on Saturday wearing a dark orange sweatshirt that read “Selfish Ways.”

His legal aid lawyer Russel Novack told Judge Marva Brown that there were “serious problems with the search” in this case.

Davenport was released on parole.

Davenport, who has no criminal record, declined to comment as he left the courtroom.

The Razorbacks player was previously arrested in September on a misdemeanor related to a speeding ticket after turning himself in to Fayetteville police, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.
