Panthers' Rasheed Walker's Charges Dismissed

0:00On March 27th, Rashid Walker, the Carolina Panthers new left tackle, faced arrest at LaGuardia Airport on January 23rd. He informed an airline employee about a firearm and ammunition in his checked baggage, resulting in two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and one count of criminal possession of a firearm. The gun was legally licensed in Wisconsin, but Walker didn't know federal rules banded from flights, even in a locked box. His attorney pointed this out early on, calling it an oversight. Walker built a strong resume with the Green Bay Packers starting 48 games across four seasons. He then signed a one-year contract with the Panthers worth up to $10 million in free agency. On Thursday, Walker shared that the charges are set to be dismissed. During his introductory news conference that day, he directed all questions to his lawyer. With legal hurdles clearing up, Walker can now focus on protecting the Panthers quarterback as training camp approaches.
