Ex-Panther Jamison Faces Charges in Columbia

The Carolina Panthers have a history of ex-players with criminal charges (and not current players, as the team’s policy on criminal activity is extremely intolerant,) and coach John Fox is probably glad now that he’s gotten rid of both Jeremy Bridges and Brandon Jamison, as the latter has been charged with reckless driving and unlawful possession of a weapon. Jamison, who played his last season of football in the NFL with the Panthers in 2007, was stopped by policemen for speeding in Columbia, South Carolina over the weekend, after which he gave officers permission to search his car. The officers found a loaded .40 Ruger handgun under the driver’s seat of the car, detaining him at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center later that night.

Jamison joined the Carolina Panthers in 2006, playing as a linebacker for the team in ‘06 and ‘07 while recording seven career tackles. The former Panther also played for the Atlanta Falcons in 2006, where he joined the NFL as a linebacker out of West Georgia. Jamison is not listed as an active player on the Panthers’ website or on the NFL’s website, even though he was identified by police as a Carolina Panther on the night of his arrest.
