Oakland Raiders offensive tackle Mario Henderson was arrested Thursday morning in Florida and charged with carrying a concealed firearm, according to several reports.
Henderson, 26, was pulled over by police in Fort Myers for playing music too loud. In response to a question by the arresting officer, Henderson said he had a gun in his vehicle. The gun was discovered between the driver’s seat and the center console, according to the arrest report. Henderson does not have a concealed firearms permit.

Henderson is the second Raiders player to be arrested this offseason. Backup running back Michael Bush was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol earlier this year.
Henderson started seven games at left offensive tackle last season, but he lost his job to rookie Jared Veldheer. He is a free agent after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Raiders.
Henderson could not be reached for comment.
