Patriots’ Julian Edelman arrested in Beverly Hills vandalism case

by in News

BEVERLY HILLS — New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman was arrested on suspicion of vandalism in Beverly Hills on Saturday night after he jumped onto a vehicle, causing some damage, police said.

The incident occurred at about 9 p.m. in the 200 block of North Beverly Drive, said Beverly Hills Police Lt. Elisabeth Albanese.

Police were already in the area working a robbery case “when someone flagged them down and gave them the lowdown,” entertainment site TMZ said in its report. Police didn’t describe the vehicle or the damage; TMZ said he hopped up on the hood of  “someone’s Mercedes.”

Edelman was released on a citation and scheduled to appear at the Airport Courthouse on April 13, 2020, Albanese said.

Edelman, 33, earned Super Bowl MVP honors in last year’s 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The Patriots were eliminated from this season’s playoffs last weekend, losing to the Tennessee Titans.

Edelman ate dinner earlier Saturday evening at the Beverly Hills Cantina Frida, TMZ said, where he was photographed with former NBA star Paul Pierce and fellow NFL receiver Danny Amendola.
