Bashaud Breeland, a Super Bowl-winning cornerback with the Chiefs in 2020, was arrested on a litany of charges in Charlotte — for the second time in a year.
The 31-year-old allegedly assaulted Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers responding to a drug call on Saturday in which they discovered narcotics.
Among the reported drugs found were several containers of what appeared to be marijuana, a plastic bag with mushrooms, five bottles of promethazine hydrochloride — a sedative used to treat motion sickness — and dihydrocodeine bitartrate, an opioid pain reliever, per the Charlotte Observer.

Breeland now faces felony drug charges, two misdemeanor charges of assaulting a government official, one for misdemeanor resisting arrest and two misdemeanors of injury to personal property — an earpiece and a CMPD uniform — according to jail records viewed by The Post.
