A 36-year-old former All-Pro NFL player was arrested Saturday at Los Angeles International Airport when he was discovered with a concealed firearm at a security screening station.
Authorities discovered Duane Brown’s gun about 2 p.m. at the security station for Terminal 6 departures, said LAX police Lt. Karla Rodriguez.
“Subject was taken into custody and transported to LAPD Pacific Jail for booking,” Rodriguez said. Brown was booked for suspicion of possession of a concealed firearm.
Brown was a first-round draft pick out of Virginia Tech in 2008 and has started more than 200 games in the NFL since then, earning numerous awards along the way as a member of both the Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks. The 6-foot-4-inch, 315-pound left tackle is currently a free agent, according to pro-football-reference.com.
It was unclear if Brown was in Los Angeles to meet with a local team, the Rams and/or the Chargers.
Bail was set at $10,000 and as of 11 p.m., Brown remained in custody, according to sheriff’s inmate records.
