Denver Broncos cornerback Faion Hicks was arrested in Hallendale, Florida, on Saturday. A seventh-round pick of the Broncos in the 2022 NFL Draft, Hicks is facing three charges.
According to Mike Klis of 9 News in Denver, the most serious of those charges is the carrying of a concealed firearm, which is a third-degree felony.
“Hicks appeared to be pulled over by police after he ‘disobeyed a stop sign.’ Besides the traffic violation and concealed firearm charge, Hicks was cited for having an expired driver’s license of less than four months, according to court records.”
