NORFOLK, Va. - A Hampton man was caught trying to bring a loaded handgun through airport security at Norfolk International Airport over the weekend.
After Transportation Security Administration officers detected the .45 caliber handgun with eight bullets on Sunday, they alerted Norfolk Airport Authority Police, who confiscated the weapon and arrested the man on weapons charges.
The case was forwarded to the Norfolk Commonwealth s Attorney for possible criminal prosecution, and the man also faces a stiff federal financial civil penalty.
Johnson City Police say one of their officers, while on patrol, noticed a man walking on Main Street with what appeared to be a handgun May 19.
The Officers found 30-year-old Tremain Hill of Baltimore, Maryland had a loaded, unregistered 9-millemeter handgun that he had been carrying while visiting bars in downtown Binghamton. Police say Hill was walking to a hotel where he was staying while working in the area.
