Former UH, now NFL receiver Trevor Davis accused of making false bomb threat
A former Rainbow Warriors football player was arrested at the Los Angeles International Airport for allegedly making a false bomb threat, according to a police spokesman.
At about 9:30 a.m. Sunday, Trevor L. Davis, 24, who now plays as a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, was with a female companion when he went to pick up their boarding passes at a Hawaiian Airlines ticket counter.
When the agent asked standard questions of whether they had any prohibited items such as aerosols, fireworks or explosives, Davis allegedly jokingly said “yes” and turned to his companion and asked “did you pack the explosives,” according to Rob Pedregon, spokesman of the Los Angeles Airport Police.
The ticket agent called police and Davis was arrested on suspicion of making a false bomb threat which is considered a misdemeanor. Police released him after they conducted a search of their bags and found no explosives. The woman wasn’t charged.
Records indicate that he is scheduled to appear at the Los Angeles Superior Court-Airport Courthouse on May 3.
Davis had played two seasons for the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.
