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.

I got in trouble for taking a pair of throwing stars to school when I was seven. I was going to my grandparents house for the weekend (it was a Friday) and decided to bring them. I showed my "friend" and he took one of them to the principal's office.

After being arrested at the Dallas airport Friday afternoon for possession of a knife and a throwing star, Cowboys rookie fullback Asaph Schwapp is out of jail, according to the Dallas Morning News.

He’s free on $1,500 bail.

When Schwapp was arrested Friday, it wasn’t disclosed immediately what sort of weapon the undrafted free agent from Notre Dame had with him, just that it wasn’t a gun.

Per the report, Schwapp was in the process of boarding a plane when he was arrested and charged with possession of a weapon in a prohibited place.

Schwapp is still listed on the Dallas Cowboys’ official roster. The team hasn’t issued any comments on Schwapp’s arrest.
