An unidentified man, who claimed that actor Samuel L Jackson is his uncle, was arrested at the airport here with weapons.
The man was taken into custody on Sunday with multiple weapons including knives, a long piece of rebar and a handful of tools, reports tmz.com.
During the arrest, the man said: “My uncle’s Samuel Jackson. Samuel L Jackson.”
It’s unclear whether Jackson has any relationship with the person arrested.
“Police were alerted to a suspicious man hanging around the airport with a potential bow and arrow. When police approached, we’re told he took off on foot and set off a brief chase… before being tazed and eventually taken down,” a law enforcement source told tmz.com.
The man was transported to a hospital by ambulance after having suffered injuries during the arrest.
