AN NFL star has been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport for making “criminal threats” while checking in, police said.

According to police, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Trevor Davis and a female companion were checking in at the Hawaiian Airlines ticket counter on Sunday morning when the ticket agent “asked the usual questions about whether he was carrying any aerosol, cans, knives, weapons or explosives,” Fox News reported.

Davis reportedly then turned to his companion and said something to the effect of: “Yeah, did you pack the explosives?”

Airport police were called after Davis made the joke and arrested him on a misdemeanour charge of making a bomb threat.

According to reports by USA Today, Davis was jailed in Los Angeles but released shortly after posting $19,500 bail.

The Green Bay Packers said in a statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel they were aware of the situation but did not comment further.

“The Packers are aware of the matter involving Trevor Davis. We are in the process of gathering more information and we will refrain from making any further comment as it is on ongoing legal matter,” the team said.

Davis is reportedly scheduled to appear in court May 3.

The 24-year-old was a fifth-round draft pick for the Packers in 2016. Last season he played in all 16 games.
