DEA raids Ohio house where Lynn Bowden, Raiders' third-round draft pick, was staying

A Youngstown, Ohio, home in which Las Vegas Raiders third-round draft pick  Lynn Bowden Jr. was staying was raided by Drug Enforcement Agency agents, U.S. Marshalls and local police said Wednesday morning.

Handguns and loaded assault weapons were recovered from the house, according to a statement from the DEA. And while Bowden was present during the raid and handcuffed on the porch during the search, no arrests were made.

The team later released the following statement: "The Raiders are aware of the situation and are in communication with Lynn Bowden, Jr. We will not be commenting further at this time."

Bowden's agency, meanwhile, tweeted that Bowden and his son were staying at the house, which belongs to a family relative, and he "fully cooperated with law enforcement during the search...was released, not arrested and not charged with any crime."

Later Wednesday, the DEA released a statement: "According to Special Agent in Charge Keith Martin (Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Detroit Field Division covering Michigan, Ohio and Northern Kentucky) early this morning DEA, with the assistance of U.S. Marshals and local law enforcement officers, executed a search warrant at a residence on Superior Street in Youngstown, Ohio. Evidence, including handguns and loaded assault weapons, were seized," it said. "No arrests were made and no public charges have been filed at this time. This is an ongoing investigation and no additional information is available at this time."

The reigning Paul Hornung Award winner as the nation's most versatile player, and a first-team All-American at Kentucky as an all-purpose player, is the second Raiders draft pick to find himself in an off-the-field headline in as many weeks. First-round pick Henry Ruggs III, the fastest player in the draft, suffered a cut to a thigh in a freak accident while helping a friend move, though the Raiders anticipate the receiver being fine going forward.

In Bowden, the Raiders drafted a player who played quarterback, receiver and running back is expected to infuse speed and versatility as a running back and punt returner, should legal woes not follow him to Las Vegas. He was the MVP of Kentucky's Belk Bowl win over Virginia Tech after rushing for a bowl-record-for-a-QB 233 yards and two scores, while also throwing the game-winning touchdown with 15 seconds to play.
