Shortly after the news about his arrest, photos of the 2020 Shelby GT500 Marshawn had reportedly driven prior to his arrest surfaced. The images obtained by TMZ showed that the vehicle had a missing tire, which left the rim completely exposed to the pavement as well as a flat tire. Witnesses say they saw the former NFL star parked at the scene around 5:45 am, which was two hours before the police arrived. While at the scene, he reportedly got out of the car to sit on the curb while leaving the driver’s door open.
