In a recent development, the father of a prominent Philadelphia Eagles player has allegedly been found in possession of a loaded firearm while driving in the Bronx, as reported by multiple news outlets.
According to Fox News, the New York Police Department (NYPD) made this discovery during a routine traffic stop involving Alibay Barkley at the intersection of 140th Street and Third Avenue in Mott Haven. The specifics of the traffic violation that prompted the stop remain undisclosed.
While it is unclear if there were other passengers in the vehicle, the incident has brought attention to the fact that Alibay Barkley is the father of Saquon Barkley, a renowned NFL running back who spent the last six seasons with the New York Giants before signing with the Philadelphia Eagles as a free agent earlier this year.
Saquon Barkley’s father, Alibay Barkley, is facing potential criminal charges for firearm possession in New York City.
As per the report, Alibay Barkley could now face criminal charges for the possession of a loaded weapon. This incident brings to light the little-known story of Saquon Barkley’s father, who, according to Essentially Sports, served a year in prison and was a boxer during his son’s formative years. After completing his sentence, Barkley Sr. relocated the family to Pennsylvania.
Saquon Barkley, on the other hand, has achieved notable success in his NFL career. At just 27 years of age, he was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2018.
