FLINT, Mich. (AP) -- Cleveland Browns defensive end Robaire Smith has been charged with carrying a gun in his luggage at Flint's Bishop Airport.
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton on Thursday charged the 32-year-old former Flint Northern High star with possession of a firearm in a sterile area of a commercial airport.
The misdemeanor carries a maximum sentence of a year in jail.
Leyton says Smith was going to take a flight to Atlanta in November when officials found a gun in his carry-on bag.
Smith's attorney, Frank Manley, tells The Flint Journal that Smith has been a role model for the community. Manley says the NFL has issued its own discipline of Smith.
