    Indianapolis Colts safety Joe Lefeged was arrested early Saturday after officers found an unregistered semi-automatic pistol in the car he was riding in, police said.

    Lefeged was a front-seat passenger in a Chevy Camaro that fled a traffic stop for speeding in northeast Washington just after midnight. Officers smelled marijuana in the car and found a plastic bottle of vodka and orange juice in the center console and a semi-automatic pistol under the front passenger seat, police documents show. A receipt in the car showed Lefeged bought the gun this year for about $900, police said.

    Lefeged and another passenger were caught when they tried to run from the car in different directions, police said. The driver got away.

    Lefeged is being held without bond on a charge of carrying an unlicensed pistol. He faces until a preliminary hearing Tuesday. A lawyer listed as representing him did not return a call seeking comment Saturday afternoon.

    "We are aware of the reports regarding Joe Lefeged in Washington, D.C. At this time, we will have no further comment on the pending matter until we gain more information," the Colts said in a statement Saturday.
