New England Patriots cornerback Jack Jones was arrested at Boston's Logan Airport for allegedly bringing two firearms in his carry-on luggage. 

Jones, 25, was charged with ten counts related to unlawful weapons and ammunition possession after he was arrested Friday, according to a Massachusetts State Police report obtained by The Boston Globe

He is scheduled to be arraigned in East Boston District Court this week and his bail was set at $50,000.

"We have been notified that Jack Jones was arrested at Logan Airport earlier today," a Patriots spokesperson said Friday. "We are in the process of gathering more information and will not be commenting further at this time."

Jones was drafted last year and participated in a minicamp last week. He injured his knee during his rookie season and ended with a two-game suspension. 

The Patriots did not state why Jones was suspended, but the player's agent, Jamal Tooson, said at the time it was related to a "miscommunication regarding Jack’s rehab process." 

The Transportation Security Administration tweeted a photo of the weapons that were confiscated Friday with the hashtag "travelfail."
