A relieved Dumervil said he knew he “didn’t do anything wrong” but was “in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“I’m just ready to continue my life,” he said.

The police report said Dumervil and another man were stuck in traffic on July 14, got into an argument with a female driver, and the two men displayed weapons. Dumervil told police he didn’t have a gun; officers say they found one in the car’s glove compartment.
