A Latrobe man is facing charges after police say he brought a gun through Pittsburgh International Airport security.
The Allegheny County Police Department says the TSA officers saw a handgun in a carry-on bag at the main security checkpoint around 11:45 a.m. on Wednesday.
Investigators say the gun belongs to John Frye, 51, of Latrobe, who did not possess a valid concealed carry permit. He’s now facing a misdemeanor charge for carrying a firearm without a license and the FBI was notified of the incident.
Anyone who brings a gun to an airport’s checkpoint can face federal civil fines up to $10,000.
