Police lieutenant pleads innocent after airport arrest
The Associated Press


Enfield, Conn. - A former Waterford police lieutenant has pleaded innocent
to charges stemming from a fellow officer bringing a gun on a plane.

James Flannigan is accused of improperly authorizing a fellow off-duty
officer to fly armed. He pleaded innocent yesterday to charges of
circumventing airport security.

Court documents show Flannigan gave then-Officer Calli Carboni a
computer-generated letter mistakenly dated a year earlier claiming that she
was on official police business and had permission to carry a firearm.

Carboni, who was off-duty at the time, was carrying the gun April First when
she tried to board Southwest Airlines Flight 1348 at Tampa International
Airport in Florida, where she was visiting her mother.

She already had traveled with the gun from Bradley International Airport in
Windsor Locks to Tampa.

Both Flannigan and Carboni were charged with illegally circumventing airport
security, and Carboni has been charged in Florida with carrying a concealed
weapon.
