The Los Angeles police say Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward was briefly detained at gunpoint, according to The Associated Press.
The altercation arose in a mix-up over a reported stolen car.
Ward was in a stopped car with a friend at about 1:30 a.m. Thursday in North Hollywood when an officer spotted the car. The car was reported stolen because the woman had forgotten where she’d parked it on April 19. She then forgot to cancel the report when she found it.
Sgt. Maria Morrison told The Associated Press that Ward was taken from the car at gunpoint and handcuffed until the woman proved the car was hers.
