Aldon Smith was arrested on Sunday at Los Angeles International Airport after claiming he had a bomb during a security screening.

Smith made the threat after he was randomly selected or a second screening.

"The suspect then became belligerent and uncooperative with the process and with the TSA agent, making a comment indicating that he was in possession of a bomb before proceeding toward the gate area," Sgt. Karla Ortiz said in a statement.

It was unclear whether Smith had been drinking alcohol, but it was "not relevant or a factor for his arrest and booking," Ortiz said.
