Report: Bears WR David Moore faces drug, weapons charges

Bears wide receiver David Moore was arrested Monday in Texas on drug and weapons charges after reportedly falling asleep in a restaurant drive-through with cannabis-infused edibles and multiple firearms in his car.

Moore was arrested in his hometown of Gainesville, Texas, as first reported by KXII news station in Texas. TMZ later reported Gainesville police found Moore asleep in a car at a Taco Bell drive-through, smelling of weed. Police reportedly found "THC edible candies along with three pistols" in his car. Moore was charged with possession of a controlled substance and unlawful carrying of weapons, per KXII.

The 27-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Bears in April. Moore played high school football at Gainesville High School and later played college ball at East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma.

The Seattle Seahawks selected Moore in the seventh round of the 2017 draft. He played four seasons in Seattle before appearing briefly with the Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers last season. Bears general manager Ryan Poles brought in numerous free agent receivers - including Moore - to try to bolster the position over the offseason.

Moore is the third Bears player to be arrested this offseason. All three were free agents recently signed by Poles. Receiver Byron Pringle and linebacker Matthew Adams were both arrested in recent months.

Pringle, who the Bears signed in March, was charged in April in Florida with doing doughnuts in his car on a public road with a child in the back seat. He faces charges of reckless driving and driving on an expired license. Pringle declined to comment on the charge during veteran minicamp last month.

Pringle, 28, has a pretrial court appearance scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Aug. 1 in Pasco County, Fla., according to online court records. The Bears have a training camp practice Aug. 1 in Lake Forest.

Adams, 26, signed a one-year contract in April after spending the previous four seasons in Indianapolis, where new Bears head coach Matt Eberflus was his defensive coordinator. Adams faces a misdemeanor weapon charge stemming from a June arrest first reported by TMZ. Chicago police pulled over Adams, who was driving a car that had been reported as stolen, but that Adams claimed to have bought. Police found a handgun in the car which Adams had a permit for, but did not have an Illinois permit, according to reports.
