A Ridgewood man was arrested Friday after Transportation Security Administration officers discovered a gun in his carry-on bag at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Officials say the man told officers that he had the gun because he was previously the victim of a crime.
“This is an understandable reason to own a firearm. However, guns are not permitted to be carried into the cabin of a plane,” said airport federal security director Thomas Carter.
The man now faces criminal charges and a fine of up to $15,000, according to officials.
