Arrest Warrant Issued for 49ers Receiver Brandon Aiyuk for Misdemeanor Charge

The misdemeanor charge stems from a January incident outside Levi’s Stadium, where video allegedly showed Aiyuk driving more than 20 mph over the limit.

  • On Wednesday, the Santa Clara County District Attorney confirmed a warrant for the arrest of San Francisco receiver Brandon Aiyuk on a misdemeanor charge of exhibition of speed, stemming from a December incident near Levi Stadium.
  • The charge relates to a viral video Aiyuk posted to YouTube in December, which appeared to show him driving past Levi Stadium at speeds topping 64 mph in a zone with a posted limit of 40 mph.
  • Following the viral video, The Santa Clara Police Department stated it was "aware" of the footage and would review it; Aiyuk later apologized in a social media post, writing, "ya'll, my car content won't come with speeding anymore."
  • Separately, the team has struggled to maintain contact with Aiyuk, who remains on the NFL Left Squad list following a knee injury, as general manager John Lynch expressed the team's intention to move on from the receiver.
  • With three years remaining on a four-year, $120 million extension, the 28-year-old receiver faces uncertainty after the team voided $27 million in guarantees last season when he failed to meet attendance and rehabilitation benchmarks.
