Packers WR Trevor Davis Arrested At LAX For Alleged Bomb Threat Joke

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Green Bay Packers wide receiver Trevor Davis was arrested Sunday at Los Angeles International Airport after allegedly making a bomb joke, according to league officials.

Davis was taken into custody on a misdemeanor threat charge after being asked security questions by a Hawaiian Airlines attendant about his luggage, NFL.com reported.

The 24-year-old allegedly turned to his female companion and said, "Did you pack the explosives?" According to reports, the woman then responded "Yes" and police were called.

LAX police then arrested him at the check-in counter and later released him after he posted $15,000 bond. The woman he was traveling with was not arrested, police said.
