Everett, who played running back for the Falcons briefly in 1987 after several years with the Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns, told police that a man with a handgun and wearing a ski mask approached the driver’s side of his 2000 Mercedes and said, “drop your money and get out of the car.”

The second suspect went to the passenger side of the Mercedes and pointed an Uzi at Everett, according to the report.

Everett dropped $70 inside the car and got out of the vehicle. The first suspect then got behind the wheel while the second man searched Everett’s pockets, telling him, “that’s not enough money; we need more money.”

The first suspect then drove off in the Mercedes, with the second man running behind the car. The second suspect got into the Mercedes in front of the Wendy’s and the two drove off.

Everett, 48, was uninjured.
