Jets linebacker Jermaine Cunningham arrested, charged with spreading sexual images, gun offenses
SUMMIT — Jets outside linebacker Jermaine Cunningham has been accused of spreading sexual images and illegally transporting a handgun in his Audi.
Cunningham was arrested Dec. 29 at his Lafayette Avenue apartment in Summit after police responded to a 911 call from someone near the apartment, said Mark Spivey, spokesman for the Union County Prosecutor’s office.
Details of the events were sketchy, but police said they received the call at about 4:15 p.m.
While officers were at the scene, they obtained Cunningham’s consent to search his Audi, and found a .380 handgun in the glove compartment, Spivey said.
He said Cunningham was charged with third-degree invasion of privacy under a state law that prohibits the disclosure of sexual images of a person without the individual's consent. Spivey declined to give further details surrounding that charge.
Cunningham also was charged with criminal mischief for the destruction of clothing, Spivey said. Information about just what clothes were destroyed and how was not available.
Officers took Cunningham to police headquarters where he was processed and released without bail, pending a court hearing, authorities said.
Cunningham, a backup outside linebacker was sidelined this season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon during an intersquad scrimmage in August.
Attempts to reach Cunningham for a comment about the arrest were unsuccessful.
A spokesman for the Jets said the organization is aware of Cunningham’s situation but would not comment because it is a pending legal matter.
