Bears WR David Moore arrested on drug and weapon charges

The Chicago Bears made lots of moves in the offseason, including hiring Ryan Poles as the general manager and Matt Eberflus as their head coach. They shipped off players like former Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack, running back Tarik Cohen and wide receiver Allen Robinson.

Among the new additions on the field are linebacker Matthew Adams, wide receiver Byron Pringle and wideout David Moore. All three newcomers have now been arrested at different points this offseason in separate incidents.

According to KXII.com, Moore was arrested in his hometown of Gainesville, Texas on Monday on drug and weapon charges and was released later that day. The 27-year-old posted a $5,000 bond and was released from the Cooke County Jail.

Adams, who signed a one-year deal in early April, was arrested two weeks ago and charged with misdemeanor firearm possession. Pringle was arrested in late April and charged with reckless driving and driving on a suspended license.

Moore signed a one-year contract with Chicago in April. He played in just three games during the 2021 season and failed to record a reception on his two targets.
