The folks at WOIO in Cleveland report that Browns defensive tackle Shaun Rogers has been arrested for possession of a gun.

Per the report, the incident occurred at Hopkins International Airport, as Rogers was preparing to board a plane. The weapon was discovered in a bag; Rogers claimed that he forgot it was there.

We realize there's a chance that this is an April Fool's Day gag. But we assume that the folks at WOIO understand that the laws of libel and slander don't disappear on the first day of the fourth month.

That's why the safest April Fool's gags focus on concept like trades or retirements, not arrests or "outings."

UPDATE: Donna J. Miller of the Cleveland Plain Dealer confirms the report. The Plain Dealer adds that the gun was loaded. Thus, if it's an April Fool's Day gag, it's gone multimedia.

That's one line I can never hear enough. It must have walked into his suitcase....

Was it loaded? That's the question.

I can say that I honestly recall having been caught with a big lock-back knife in one of my bags at the airport when I was a kid that had been left in there accidentally. I had just used the bag for a boy scout camping trip the weekend previous, and it was in one of the side pockets I neglected to check.

Luckily this was back in the late-80s/early 90s, and they basically just shook their heads and said "whatever", but a gun? Now that I can just not see...

I can understand leaving certain items in your bag and forgetting about them but how irresponsible are you to forget where you put a gun. I hope this guy doesn't have kids if he just place guns around the house.

That was pre 9-11.Any person who tries to board a plane with a loaded gun now deserves what they get.
