DALLAS (CBS 11 News) ― Police arrested a Dallas Cowboys rookie at Love Field Friday for carrying a prohibited weapon.
Twenty two-year-old Asaph Schwapp was boarding a flight to Houston when security found a throwing-star in his bag, police say. A throwing star is a popular martial arts weapon.
A police report states Schwapp told officers he collects martial arts weapons and that a friend had given it to him. The report also states he was "extremely cooperative."
Schwapp is a fullback and attended Notre Dame. He was an undrafted free agent picked up by the Cowboys this year.
Schwapp was running third team fullback at off-season workouts this week with little chance of making the team.
The Cowboys have not released an official statement about the arrest.
