Report Browns WR Gordon Had Run-In with TSA at Airport and Was Arrested is False

There’s plenty of speculation as to why Josh Gordon went into rehab on Thursday, but another story that Gordon and his friends had a run-in with TSA at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport has turned out to be false.

The story, which was reported by Scout.com and has since been removed, and now TMZ.com has picked up on it and reported the following.

A report that Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon and his posse were stopped by TSA at a Cleveland airport with a pound of weed is completely bogus … this according to TSA sources.

The original Scout.com report claims Gordon and his security detail were detained at Cleveland Hopkins airport after screeners found the pot in checked baggage. Gordon reportedly denied the pot was his. The report says this was the incident that led to Gordon entering rehab.

But our TSA sources tell us, “The reports you’re seeing are totally false.”

One highly connected TSA source explains, “Gordon was screened by TSA last night (Thursday) without incident.”

The source also says there has been no TSA trouble with Gordon recently.

Cleveland Police has also stepped in, stating that the report of Gordon being arrested at the airport was untrue.
