CLEVELAND (AP) -Cleveland Browns nose tackle Shaun Rogers will enter a diversion program to resolve a felony charge that he tried to carry a gun through airport security.
Under the deal approved Thursday in a Cleveland court, the gun charge will be dismissed if Rogers completes the program, which includes volunteer service and 10 hours in a gun class.
Police say Rogers had the semiautomatic handgun in a carry-on bag at Cleveland’s Hopkins International Airport in April.
Attorney Pat D’Angelo says Rogers has consistently given the same explanation – that he had forgotten he had the weapon in the bag.
D’Angelo says the diversion program could last up to one year and could include helping out at a program aimed at reducing school truancy.
