CLEVELAND (AP) - Cleveland Browns nose tackle Shaun Rogers was arrested Thursday at Hopkins International Airport for carrying a loaded gun in his carry-on luggage.
Rogers, who had been at the team's suburban training facility in recent days, was stopped at a security checkpoint when officials spotted a loaded .45-caliber hand gun in his carry-on luggage, police said in a statement. He was arrested at 12:15 p.m. without incident and was booked for carrying a concealed weapon, a third-degree felony.
No charges have been filed at this time, police said.
Under Ohio law, a third-degree felony carries a penalty of probation to five years in prison.
It's not yet known what Rogers, who lives in Houston during the offseason, told officials about the gun or if he was traveling alone.
Browns president Mike Holmgren issued a statement saying the team was aware of Rogers' arrest.
"We will continue to gather additional information, and until the legal process has taken its course, we will reserve any further comment," the statement said.
A message seeking comment was left with Rogers' agent, Kennard McGuire.
Rogers, a three-time Pro Bowler who has played two seasons with the Browns, missed Cleveland's final five games last season after breaking his leg on Nov. 29 against Cincinnati.
