Trevor Davis, Green Bay Packers’ wide receiver was arrested on Sunday at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and charged for making ‘criminal threats’ after joking about a bomb being stowed in his luggage, the police said on Monday.
A police spokesperson confirmed that Davis was detained following the comments he made during security-related questions while he was going to check in at the Hawaiian Airlines ticket counter. Ass per sources, Davis turned to a female companion and asked if she remembered to pack the explosives. He was then promptly taken into custody by the airport police before being released on $15,000 bail.
On Monday, Rob Pedregon, Public Information officer said that Davis was arrested by the police, taken into custody and later released on his recognizance, pending a court appearance on May 3. He further said that the case had been referred to the Los Angeles country system.
In a statement, the team said, “The Packers are aware of the matter involving Trevor Davis. We are in the process of gathering more information and will refrain from making any further comment as it is an ongoing legal matter.”
Davis, 24, has appeared in 27 games in the last two seasons for Green Bay. Davis was selected in the fifth round pick from the Cavaliers in the 2016 NFL Draft and the last season served as the Packers’ primary punt returner and kick returner. He ranked third in the NFL in punt return average last season with 65 yards against the Cleveland Browns on December 10.
A San Francisco native, Davis was expected to be back in Green Bay next Monday to start off the Packers’ offseason program which begins next week. Davis could be subject to potential league’s discipline under NFL’s conduct policy.
