While searching his vehicle, deputies said they found five guns, including two illegal assault-style rifles. Officials said he was cooperative and was subsequently arrested and booked on felony charges. 

On Monday, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department data showed he was released. LA County District Attorney Nathan Hochman's office said that they reviewed Perryman's case to consider filing charges, but sent the case back to the LASD for further investigation.

‘I’m home baby'

What they're saying:

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said he went to visit Perryman in jail on Sunday, ESPN reported. "Love Denzel," Harbaugh said Monday. "He’s always done right. He’s never been in trouble. Got a beautiful family, and we’ll let the due process play out."

His teammate Daiyan Henley posted an Instagram story of Perryman, saying, "I’m home baby."

What's next:

The LASD will continue to investigate Perryman's case, and could then potentially send it back to the DA's office for them to again consider filing charges. 

"We remain committed to ensuring that all cases are thoroughly and fairly evaluated based on the evidence," the DA's office said in a statement.
