NFL free agent Duane Brown was arrested on gun charges Saturday at LAX airport after attempting to board a plane with a gun in his lugagge, according to TMZ.
LAX police officer Lt. Karla Rodriguez, who said it was unclear if the gun was loaded, confirmed that Brown was taken into custody and booked at the LAPD Pacific Jail.
Now a free agent, the defensive tackle was arrested after a routine search of his bag revealed a firearm to a TSA agent.
The incident ocurred around 2:00 pm at Terminal 6 where Brown was scheduled to catch a flight out of Los Angeles.
Video of the arrest shows Brown escorted through the airport in handcuffs before getting placed inside a police cruiser.
