Packers Player Faces Gun Trouble at Airport

Rasheed Walker, a player for the Green Bay Packers, found himself in hot water recently. He was arrested at LaGuardia Airport after trying to check a bag with a gun inside. The bag had a locked box, which contained a 9mm Glock pistol and 36 rounds of ammo. This happened because Walker told an airline worker about the gun, leading to a police search.Walker, who is 25 years old, was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. He had to appear in court but was released the same day. His lawyer said the gun was legally owned in Wisconsin, but Walker didn't realize he couldn't bring it to New York. The lawyer also said they expect the case to be resolved in Walker's favor. This isn't Walker's first time in the spotlight. He was drafted by the Packers in 2022. Now, he has to go back to court on March 19 to deal with these charges. It's a reminder that even athletes can face legal issues, and it's important to know the laws when traveling with firearms.
