49ers' Aldon Smith arrested at LAX after alleged bomb comment

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday after he allegedly became argumentative with a screening agent and made comments suggesting he had a bomb, police said.

Aldon Jacarus Ramon Smith, 24, was transported to Los Angeles Police Department's Pacific Division on the Westside, where he was booked on suspicion of making a false report of a bomb threat.

Smith was randomly selected for a secondary screening about 2 p.m. at Terminal 1 when he “became belligerent and uncooperative with the process,” said airport police Sgt. Karla Ortiz.

Smith then made a comment to the Transportation Security Administration agent “indicating he was in possession of a bomb before proceeding towards the gate area,” Ortiz said.

I would like to know exactly what Aldon Smith said. "Indicating he was in possession of a bomb" is vague. Let us know his exact words.
