Former NFL Wide Receiver Damoun Patterson Booked on Grand Theft and Armed Burglary Charges

Former NFL wide receiver Damoun Patterson has gone from catching passes on Sundays to facing a list of felony charges following an arrest in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Daytona Beach Police Department says Patterson was taken into custody in connection with an incident involving a vehicle, a deadly weapon, and a residence.

Patterson spent time with several NFL organizations during his professional football career, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and New England Patriots. Now, the former receiver has found himself on the other side of a Daytona Beach Police Department arrest announcement.

According to police, Patterson was booked on charges that include Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Criminal Mischief, and Armed Burglary of a Dwelling. The department did not provide additional details about what led up to the incident in its social media post.

Still, that's quite a collection of charges attached to what was once a familiar name on NFL rosters. Footage shared by Daytona Beach police offers a closer look at the circumstances surrounding Patterson's arrest and the encounter that landed him behind bars.

Please give the following video a moment to load.

The clip posted to the Daytona Beach Police Department's Facebook page features officers approaching a vehicle before cutting to Patterson's arrest. Additional footage adds context to the events after the arrest, which show Patterson cooperating with officers, and even talking to them about his past football career at one point.

Even though some of the officers seemed genuinely interested, the fact of the matter is that he is still being wanted for various felonies. One officer explained to Patterson that he was going to be taken to prison that evening, but that he was likely also going to be contacted by the Orlando Police Department for previous issues.

Regardless of everything that he is being accused of, he seemed to accept his fate and did everything asked of him by the police who were on the scene. Honestly, that's likely what helped make the whole scenario far less of a big deal than it actually is to those who live in the area since it looks like the events are happening in some sort of neighborhood.

Whatever ultimately comes of the case, Patterson is facing several serious accusations following his arrest. Armed burglary and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon sit alongside the grand theft and criminal mischief charges listed by Daytona Beach police.

The department's announcement does not specify what weapon Patterson is accused of possessing, whose vehicle was involved, or the extent of the property damage behind the criminal mischief charge. Those details will likely become clearer as the case moves through the judicial process.

For now, the former NFL receiver has traded his name appearing on football rosters for one appearing in a Daytona Beach police report. Patterson has been booked on the listed charges, though as the department itself emphasized, he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
