Man arrested at Logan with antique guns
A 44-year-old man is facing charges after trying to pass through a security checkpoint at Logan International Airport with two antique pistols, State Police said.
State Police said they arrested Brent Cameron of New London, N.H., at about 7:43 a.m. yesterday at Terminal E after he was stopped by TSA officers.
The pistols were detected by TSA workers using an X-ray machine.
No ammunition was found with the guns.
Cameron told troopers he had bought the guns, .22-caliber Derringers, at an auction last week and said he did not know they were in the bag, State Police said.
He also said he did not have a license for them. A license was not needed in New Hampshire.
Cameron was arraigned yesterday in East Boston District Court on two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, according to the Suffolk district attorney’s office.
A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf, and he was released without bail. He is due back in court May 20.
