Super Bowl winner Bashaud Breeland arrested on drug, assault charges in second incident in a year

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.

There were also multiple firearms found.

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.

The incident is Breeland’s second in less than a year after he was found in August 2023 with a stolen Mercedez-Benz SUV, eight firearms, 62 grams of what was believed to be mushrooms and over five pounds of marijuana.

That case is still pending, per court records.

An eight-year NFL veteran, Breeland was arrested in South Carolina in 2020 in an incident in which he resisted being put into handcuffs and had a gun pointed in his face.

Breeland, a star at Clemson from 2010-13, was a fourth-round pick by the then-Washington Redskins in 2014 and left for the Packers in 2018.

He played two seasons with the Chiefs, making an interception in a Super Bowl 2020-winning effort.
