Here\u2019s what we know"},"content":{"rendered":"

Former Penn State and current Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Rasheed Walker was arrested Friday at LaGuardia Airport after he attempted to check a bag that contained a handgun and ammo.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old was arrested after he told a Delta employee that his bag had a locked box with a firearm inside of it, according to the New York Post. <\/a>Port Authority responded and found a 9mm Glock with 36 rounds of ammo in the box, according to the report. <\/p>\n

Walker was charged with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm, per the Post. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was in a locked box and he disclosed it to the people at the airport,\u201d Walker\u2019s attorney, Arthur Aidala, told the Post. \u201cHe told a person from Delta he was traveling with a firearm. He mistakenly thought because he had a licensed firearm and it was locked in a box that he was able to travel with it. We are confident that the case will be dismissed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-6, 324 pounder played for Penn State from 2018 through 2021. He was an All-Big Ten pick in 2020 and 2021. <\/p>\n

Walker was then selected in the seventh-round, 249th-overall, in the 2022 draft by Green Bay. <\/p>\n

He has played in 52 games, starting 48 during his time with the Packers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Penn State and current Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Rasheed Walker was arrested Friday at LaGuardia Airport…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":706176,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2072],"tags":[7,102684,41,345,2514,2513,3185,6,3846,5506,428],"class_list":["post-706175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-green-bay-packers","tag-football","tag-gm4_6940","tag-green-bay","tag-green-bay-packers","tag-greenbay","tag-greenbaypackers","tag-helmet-off","tag-nfl","tag-nflraw24","tag-no-helmet","tag-packers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115961113244282419","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=706175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/706176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=706175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=706175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=706175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
