Packers Tackle Rasheed Walker Arrested at LaGuardia on Gun Possession Charges

A Queens court released him pending a March 19 return date.

Overview

  • Port Authority police detained Walker on Friday after he told a Delta employee his checked bag contained a handgun and ammunition.
  • Officers found a 9mm Glock and 36 rounds secured inside a locked case in his luggage.
  • He was charged with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and one count of criminal possession of a firearm.
  • He appeared in Queens County Criminal Court the same day, was released, and is scheduled to return on March 19.
  • His attorney says the firearm is licensed in Wisconsin and that Walker believed declaring it in a locked case allowed him to travel with it.
