Andre Smith
Bengal Andre Smith was arrested, at the Atlanta Airport. He had a gun in his carry-on that he forgot to take out and carried it in with him. While it sounds shocking at first, it actually happens with some frequency. I had a client who didn’t realize his pistol was in his bag, and did the same thing a few years ago. I deposed the airport officer, who indicated it happens several times a year at our little airport. Local American Idol celebrity “Baby V” Vonzell Solomon was charged for it a few years ago. She had a carry permit, but that doesn’t let you take it to the airport! If you are an NFL player, carrying a gun is a recipe for trouble. Just ask Plaxico.
