Duane Brown's travel plans have been rerouted after a brush with the law.

The NFL free agent, 36, was arrested around 2 p.m. local time on Saturday at Los Angeles International Airport after TSA discovered a concealed firearm in his carry-on bag, which was reportedly not loaded, according to TMZ.

The Los Angeles Airport Police Department, as well as a representative for Brown, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
