Saturday, July 9, 2022 – NFL offensive lineman Duane Brown was nabbed by TSA security after allegedly trying to board an aircraft with a stolen firearm.

Brown has been wreaking havoc on defenses since 2008 and the free agent last played for the 2021 Seattle Seahawks. Depending on the potential charges, Brown may have very well played his last snap in the NFL. X17online.com

Brown was booked for misdemeanor possession of a concealed firearm and processed at a nearby LAPD jail, per TMZ.

Video published by the outlet shows officers escorting Brown in handcuffs out of the airport and into the back of a police cruiser.

Brown was later released on $10,000 bail, according to Sports Illustrated. His court date is set for August 3 at LAX Superior Court.

The offensive tackle played for nearly a decade with the Houston Texans after he was the team’s first-round pick (26th overall) in the 2008 NFL Draft.

After being traded to the Seattle Seahawks in 2017, he played more than four seasons with the team before his contract expired last year. He’s since been a free agent with the NFL.
