Former Tampa Bay Buccaneer receiver Louis Murphy was arrested Wednesday morning after a concealed firearm was allegedly discovered at a Tampa International Airport TSA checkpoint.

According to the Tampa Bay Times, “Murphy was arrested at 9:10 a.m” after the firearm was discovered at a security checkpoint.

Authorities did not release details about the firearm or how it was being carried.

NBC Sports reports Murphy was released Wednesday afternoon on a $2,000 bond.

Murphy played 17 games with the Buccaneers during the 2014-2015 season. Before that, he played for the Oakland Raiders, Carolina Panthers, and New York Giants. The Buccaneers released him last year due to injuries.
