The Philadelphia Eagles hope to bounce back from a very disappointing end to their 2023 season as NFL Training Camp approaches. They made a major splash in free agency when they signed star running back Saquon Barkley from the New York Giants, their bitter rivals. Saquon has been enjoying his new squad thus far, but this week it was revealed that his father had been detained.
Philadelphia Eagles’ Saquon Barkley Father Arrested
Saquon Barkley’s father was reportedly taken into custody by police earlier this month. Police reportedly conducted a traffic stop on Barkely’s father Alibay, according to a FOX News story. According to reports, the cops discovered a loaded revolver in the car when they pulled him up.
“A law enforcement source informs me that during a traffic stop in the Bronx, Alibay Barkley, the father of current Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and former Giants player, was discovered in possession of a gun. Thompson stated late on Thursday night that he might face charges related to unlawful possession of a weapon.
“This allegedly occurred yesterday in Mott Haven at the intersection of East 140th and 3rd Avenue. The rifle was loaded, according to sources,” he later said.
Even while there isn’t much more information available at the moment, as things progress, more will become available. Saquon himself opened up about his father’s difficulties in a 2018 interview. According to Barkley, his father has been a very special person in his life and has always been open and honest with him about the difficulties he has had.
“My dad has experienced a great deal. Don’t make the same mistakes dad did in life was a major lesson he instilled in me when I was younger, Saquon said to Lancaster Online.
“You must honour him as a man. Many parents find it difficult to tell their children that the choices they made were terrible and that their mistakes were terrible. That was beneficial to me.
This might be an off-field distraction as Saquon prepares with his new squad when training camp begins.
