The officer reportedly requested identification from everyone in the car including Callaway. He complied which in turn revealed that the wideout had a warrant for allegedly driving with a suspended license and failing to pay.

Callaway was drafted by the Browns out of the University of Florida in 2018. In his rookie season, he hauled in 43 receptions for 586 yards and five touchdowns in 11 starts. The following year he was suspended four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
