An Augusta woman was arrested Thursday morning for bringing a loaded gun in her bag at the Augusta Regional Airport.
Cheryl Arrington, 53, is being held without bond in the Richmond County Jail on a charge of carrying a weapon or long gun at a commercial airport.
Authorities say the woman’s gun was found in her carry-on bag during an X-ray screening. She is not currently a licensed weapon’s permit holder.
The weapon was described as “a .38 special caliber, Smith and Wesson model 642 revolver, loaded with five rounds of ammunition.” According to a warrant, the traveler went “into the airport security screening checkpoint wherein prominent signs were posted clearly indicating weapons were not permitted in such area.”
Airport officials say Arrington may have been a permit holder but her permit expired. If she had accidentally brought the gun to the airport and had a current permit, TSA officials may have gone easier on her and let her secure the weapon in her vehicle.
“Because she had no valid permit, they took her to jail,” said Diane Johnston, with the airport’s marketing department.
Airport officials say a traveler can legally transport a gun if it’s checked and locked in a secure gun case.
According to Arrington’s Facebook page, she is a Mary Kay distributor, former hospital lab director and married.
It’s incredibly easy to leave a peashooter
in bulky bags when you’re flat out trying to create jobs. Sales people like
this lady create more jobs than anyone else. NOBODY MAKES ANYTHING UNTILL
SOMEBODY SELLS SOMETHING. Notice TSA has burned through almost 1 billion
dollars and NEVER STOPPED A SINGLE TERRORIST??? The only thing the TSA did was
grope its way to the bottom of the food chain and had several job producers arrested.
So these job creators had to lay off employees to pay off the TSA and all the
expenses they incurred trying protect the things they need to employ people. Now
you the tax payer have paid about 1 billion dollars to pervs who have caused a
whole bunch of people to lose their jobs, houses, marriages and freedoms. When
will they learn from the Israelis who have caught more terrorist than ALL of
our law enforcement combined???

What a load of crap.
The lady deserved the opportunity to lock the gun in her car and catch her flight.
