Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Rasheed Walker was arrested Friday at LaGuardia Airport in New York after he attempted to check a bag that contained a firearm.
According to the New York Post, Walker was charged with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm.
Walker, 25, appeared in Queens County Criminal Court and was released later Friday. He is due back in court on March 19.
Per the newspaper, Walker told an airline employee that his bag contained a locked box that housed a handgun and ammunition.
Walker's attorney, Arthur Aidala, told the New York Post that the firearm legally was licensed in Wisconsin and that Walker wasn't aware that he couldn't travel with it.
Walker is set to become an unrestricted free agent this March. He has started 48 of the 52 games in which he has appeared since being selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
