Saquon Barkley’s father Alibay allegedly caught with loaded gun during NYC traffic stop: sources

Philadelphia Eagles superstar Saquon Barkley’s father was allegedly caught Wednesday with a gun while driving in the Bronx, according to law enforcement sources.

Cops found the weapon when they pulled Alibay Barkley over during a traffic stop at the corner of East 140th Street and Third Avenue in Mott Haven, according to sources and Fox News reporter Greg Thompson.

The firearm was fully loaded, sources told Thompson.

It’s unclear if anyone else was inside the car at the time of the traffic stop.

The NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and a representative for Saquon Barkley did not have any information about the incident.

The elder Barkley has had past brushes with the law. At age 19 he spent a year at Riker’s Island for a gun charge, Saquon told LancasterOnline in 2018.

The conviction prompted Saquon’s mother, Tonya Johnson, to move her young family from the Bronx to Pennsylvania for a fresh start.

Alibay Barkley followed his family after he was freed, steering clear from the law until 2016 when he was arrested and Tased for refusing to deboard an Allentown, Pennsylvania bus after the driver accused him of skirting his fare.

He later sued the police department and bus company for discrimination and the case was settled in 2018 for $45,000.

“My dad has been through a lot. He made that a big point when I was young: Don’t make the same mistakes he did in life,” Saquon, who played college football at Penn State, had told Lancaster Online.

“You have to respect him as a man. A lot of people can’t look their kids in the face and tell them the decisions that they made were awful and the mistakes they made were bad. That helped me.”
