"Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Rasheed Walker was arrested Friday morning at La Guardia Airport in New York after he tried to check in a bag that contained a firearm. Walker, 25, was taken into custody and charged with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm, according to the New York Post. He appeared in Queens County Criminal Court on the gun charge and was released later Friday."
"According to the Post, citing a criminal complaint, Walker told an airline employee that his bag contained a locked box holding a handgun. Port Authority Police, after being alerted by the employee, searched Walker's bag and found a 9mm Glock pistol along with 36 rounds of ammo in the locked box. Aidala told the Post that the gun was legally licensed in Wisconsin and that Walker didn't know he couldn't travel with it in New York."
