Patriots player charged with walking around Logan Airport with two loaded guns

WCVB reports Patriots player Jackie K. Jones, 25, was arrested at Logan Airport for the two loaded and unlicensed guns State Police say he had with him as he walked around Logan Airport yesterday afternoon.

State Police arrested Jones after the guns showed up on a TSA screening device as he allegedly tried to get on a plane to Los Angeles with the loaded guns in carry-on bags.

Jones faces arraignment in East Boston Municipal Court on charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and possession of a large-capacity feeding device - all felonies in Massachusetts. He also faces potential fines by TSA.

TSA reports:

Officers with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) on Friday detected two loaded firearms and ammunition in the carry-on luggage of a male passenger ticketed for travel to Los Angeles International Airport. This occurred around 5:20 p.m. EDT during the routine X-ray screening of carry-on luggage at the airport’s security checkpoint.

Upon discovery of the firearm, TSA notified the Massachusetts State Police and they responded to the security checkpoint. The traveler was questioned by law enforcement and subsequently arrested.

TSA said these were the ninth and tenth guns discovered in carry-on luggage at Logan this year. Also:

Firearms can be transported on a commercial aircraft only if they are unloaded, packed in a locked, hard-sided case and placed in checked baggage. Ammunition and firearm parts, including firearm frames, receivers, clips and magazines are also prohibited in carry-on baggage and must be checked. Any type of replica firearm is prohibited in carry-on baggage and must be transported in checked luggage.

Innocent, etc.
