LaGuardia Airport
NEW YORK (AP) --- Green Bay Packers offensive tackle Rasheed Walker has been
arrested after police say he presented a firearm for inspection without proper
credentials at LaGuardia Airport.
Port Authority police said Walker was arrested Friday morning after they
responded to a request for a firearms check at LaGuardia's Terminal C. Police
said the 25-year-old had checked in at Delta and had presented a firearm for
inspection without proper credentials.
Arthur Aidala, the lawyer representing Walker, said his client voluntarily
disclosed an unloaded, secured firearm upon his arrival at the airport. Aidala
said Walker was arrested because his license wasn't valid in New York.
"We are confident the matter will eventually be dismissed," Aidala said via
email.
The Packers' season ended Jan. 10 with a 31-27 loss to the Chicago Bears in the
wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.
Walker has been Green Bay's first-team left tackle for the last three seasons
and has started 48 games since the Packers selected him out of Penn State in
the seventh round of the 2022 draft. Walker just completed the final year of
his contract and is set to become a free agent in the offseason. He has started
each of Green Bay's four playoff games over the last three seasons.
