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.
