When a marshal confronted him, Higueros claimed to be a law enforcement officer who was transporting a firearm related to a case. He gave him consent to search his bag, where the marshall found an unloaded Glock 43 pistol, a magazine with six rounds and an empty magazine, the complaint said.
Higueros was taken into custody upon landing in Nashville. His military commander told authorities that Higueros was AWOL because he had left the 250-mile radius surrounding Fort Campbell without approval.
He also said Higueros was not serving in any government or law enforcement capacity.
