Raiders' Bowden handcuffed as authorities search family member's home

Las Vegas Raiders rookie Lynn Bowden Jr. was handcuffed Wednesday but not arrested or charged with a crime after authorities searched the residence of a family member in Youngstown, Ohio, his agency said.

Bowden and his young son were guests at the home, which his mother tweeted belongs to his grandmother.

U.S. Marshals and the Drug Enforcement Agency seized several loaded assault rifles and handguns from the house, according to WKBN's Gerry Ricciutti.

"The Raiders are aware of the situation and are in communication with Lynn Bowden Jr.," the team said in a statement obtained by Vincent Bonsignore of The Las Vegas Review-Journal. "We will not be commenting further at this time."

Bowden cooperated with law enforcement officers, who left the house without making any arrests, the player's agency noted.

Bowden was a third-round pick of the Raiders following a decorated career at Kentucky. He played quarterback and wide receiver for the Wildcats but was drafted as a running back. The 22-year-old was a consensus All-American for Kentucky in 2019.
