Demetric Felton, Greg Newsome & Perrion Winfrey Were Involved in 2 Separate Incidents, According to Multiple Outlets

According to a police report obtained by News 5, running back/wide receiver Demetric Felton Jr. had his Dodge Durango stolen on Sunday, June 4, the outlet reported.

Trotter wrote that Felton’s vehicle was stolen from his apartment parking garage. East Coast Durangos posted a photo of the car to Instagram with the caption, “Stolen in Cleveland this morning! If spotted in Cleveland, contact @demetric_felton7 or Cleveland PD ASAP.”

Then Greg Newsome’s vehicle was stolen around 3:30 a.m. Monday, June 5, by six men with masks and guns, News 5 reported. “The robbers took Newsome’s jewelry and drove off in his truck,” the outlet reported, adding that the robbery took place outside Filter Experience, a restaurant in Cleveland.

ESPN confirmed that defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey was with Newsome at the time his truck was stolen. Neither Winfrey nor Newsome was harmed in the robbery, according to the outlet.

ESPN reported that, according to police, the two players had just left a Cleveland nightclub when the robbery took place as they got to Newsome ‘s truck in a nearby parking lot.

Newsome seemingly released a response to the crime on Twitter when he tweeted Sunday night, “It’s a cruel world we live in,” to which many fans and pundits replied that they are just glad Newsome is safe.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told the media he couldn’t comment much on the active investigation but added, “I’m glad our guys are OK. I want our guys, I want all of our community to be safe. The Cleveland Police have been outstanding. Chief Drummond and I spoke yesterday. We want everybody to be safe, and we want to get violent people off of our streets.”

“I’m just glad to see they’re all right,” defensive end Myles Garrett told News 5 Cleveland. “Saw Perrion yesterday and saw Greg today and just making sure they’re in the right head space, they feel like they’re surrounded by family and letting them know that anything that they need, we’re the perfect resource for them and we have their back with whatever happens.”

In addition to being a robbery victim, Winfrey has had some trouble with the law lately. He was arrested in Texas on April 10 on a misdemeanor assault charge, according to Cleveland.com.

TMZ further reported that court documents said that Winfrey and his girlfriend got into an argument over “a dog and keys to a rental car” and it became physical and bystanders had to intervene, according to the documents. The court documents also say that the woman said this was not the first time Winfrey assaulted her, TMZ reported.


Deshaun Watson’s Truck Was Stolen in January

According to News 5 Cleveland, quarterback Deshaun Watson was also the victim of a robbery back in January.

“This is just the latest car theft involving a Browns player. In January, somebody took quarterback Deshaun Watson’s truck from a dealership in North Olmsted. It was later found in a ditch along I-480,” News 5 reported.

WKYC reported at the time that five individuals broke into the Mercedes-Benz of North Olmsted dealership and stole five vehicles, which included Watson’s Dodge Ram pickup truck. Three of the five vehicles were later found along I-480.

WKYC also reported that that incident was the latest in a string of robberies of high-performance luxury vehicles from dealerships in northeast Ohio.
