Former Packers DE defends friends accused of bringing guns to his son's Christmas pageant

A reported family dispute over religion seems to have resulted in former Green Bay Packers defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila nearly getting arrested at a church during a Christmas pageant, and two of his friends being actually arrested, according to the Green Bay Press Gazette.

The incident reportedly occurred Tuesday night at Assembly of God Church in Green Bay, where Jordan Salmi and Ryan Desmith’s attendance resulted in a trespassing complaint to police.

Salmi and Desmith reportedly refused to leave and were subsequently arrested for trespassing. Both were then found to be carrying concealed weapons without permits, and now both face charges of carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a dangerous weapon at a school.
