18-year-old
arrested at Bloomington airport with unloaded gun and ammunition in bag
An 18-year-old man
was arrested after screeners found an unloaded gun and ammunition in his
bag while checking in for a flight at Central Illinois Regional Airport in
Bloomington.
Prosecutors said
the man entered the security screening area Friday with a bag ahead of a
scheduled flight. TSA screeners found a 9mm handgun (unloaded, with no
serial number), magazines, and ammo in the bag, prosecutors said.
The 18-year-old
told authorities he didn't know the gun was in his bag, prosecutors said.
The man did not have a valid Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card,
prosecutors said.
The man faces six
criminal counts, including aggravated trespassing into a restricted area
with a weapon.
He was being held
on $50,000 bond after making an initial court appearance over the weekend.
