CLEVELAND — Browns nose tackle Shaun Rogers was arrested Thursday at Hopkins International Airport for having a loaded gun in his carry-on luggage.
Rogers was stopped at a security checkpoint on Concourse C when officials spotted a loaded .45-caliber handgun in his bag, police said.
He was arrested “without incident,” transferred to a downtown processing center and booked for carrying a concealed weapon, a third-degree felony.
No charges have been filed, police said, although Rogers, 31, could face federal fines for carrying the firearm. Rogers likely will face league penalties if it is determined he violated the NFL’s player-conduct policy.
