Glen Coffee, former San Francisco 49ers running back who retired in August, was arrested today in Fort Walton Beach, Fla. for illegally carrying a "cocked" automatic pistol in his car, according to TMZ.

Police said the 23-year-old was pulled over for speeding and his 2008 Cadillac had no registration or insurance. Cops searched the car before having it towed and found a "black 380 SIG Sauer automatic pistol."

The pistol was reportedly cocked and was located in the center compartment.

Coffee, who said football was no longer his dream after retiring, was taken to a police station nearby for carrying a concealed firearm.
