Frontier said passengers were deplaned and rescreened. The aircraft also underwent a security sweep, with no additional findings, according to Frontier. 

Frontier also said the preliminary investigation indicates that the ammunition belongs to a law enforcement officer. 

Customers were booked on a new flight early Monday morning since the crew exceeded their duty time with the delay.
