Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham spent part of his bye week in jail after he was arrested for trying to bring a loaded gun through a Miami airport.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, the 27-year old had put his backpack through the X-ray machine at Miami International airport when TSA workers noticed a loaded firearm. Bradham told workers he forgot the gun was in the bag and showed officials his concealed weapons permit.
Officials say “it was clear that there was no criminal intent on his part,” but say they could not just cite and release Bradham since he’s still out on bond stemming from a July assault case. Bradham was taken into custody later that day on a $500 bond.
As for the assault case, Bradham was arrested back in July for allegedly punching an employee at a Miami hotel. He’s due back in court for that case on Wednesday.
