Jets quarterack Geno Smith was removed from a planned flight from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale on Friday after supposedly refusing to remove his headphones, ESPN has reported. He was questioned by airport police at the gate, but was not arrested and no incident report was filed.
A source told ESPN that Smith could not hear a request to unplug all electronic devices. A flight attendant unplugged his headphones, threw them down, told Smith he was a "threat" and asked him to leave the plane. His conversation with police was at his request.
