A New England Patriots player was arrested Friday after police claimed he tried to take two guns on a flight from Boston Logan International Airport, according to NBC affiliate NBC10Boston.
Police took Jackie K. Jones, known as Jack Jones, into custody after the guns were reportedly found in his carry-on luggage.
The 25-year-old cornerback faces charges including possession of a concealed weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm and possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card, police said.
“We learned that Jack Jones was arrested earlier today at Logan Airport,” Stacey James, a spokesman for the Patriots, said in a released statement to NBC10 Boston.
“We are gathering more information and will not be commenting further at this time.”
Police said bail for Jones was set at $50,000. His arraignment is scheduled for next week at East Boston District Court.
Lawyers for the player could not immediately be identified and reached for comment on the arrest.
Jones has been a player with the Patriots since 2022, when he was called up by the team.
