San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was released from jail after an incident at Los Angeles International Airport over the weekend.

Smith was arrested after he was randomly selected for a secondary security screening at Terminal 1 and then became uncooperative. A statement from airport police said he made "a comment indicating that he was in possession of a bomb before proceeding towards the gate area."

You can see him gettng handcuffed and surrounded by police in a video obtained by TMZ on Sunday. According to the outlet, Smith told authorities he did nothing wrong and that they will be “embarrassed.”

This isn't Smith's first run-in with the law. He was arrested twice in 2012 -- once for a misdemeanor DUI charge, the other time for possession of illegal weapons.
