2 Arrests at LAX for Illegal Firearm
The Associated
Press
LOS ANGELES, - Police arrested two
people at Los Angeles International Airport on suspicion of impersonating peace
officers and have charged one of them with carrying a concealed weapon, airport
police said Saturday.
A man and woman in plainclothes who claimed to have
peace officer authority to transport a prisoner out of state entered a screening
area in the airport's Terminal 3 on Friday morning, said Los Angeles Airport
police spokeswoman Belinda Nettles.
The woman said she was carrying a
firearm, and both claimed they had written documents indicating they were
authorized to carry firearms, Nettles said.
Airport police ran a check
and found that neither was a police officer, and the woman did not have a permit
to carry a gun.
Officials declined to release the pair's
names.
Meanwhile, the FBI said it was assisting local authorities in
their investigation.
No further details were released.
