Police: Man had loaded gun in bag at Miami airport
MIAMI, FL
Miami-Dade Police arrested 48-year-old Juan Manuel Baldoquin of
West Palm Beach on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and grand
theft of a firearm. He was being held on $10,000 bond. Detective Javier Baez says a Transportation Security
Administration screener spotted the outline of a gun while X-raying
Baldoquin's bag. Police found the loaded gun when searching the bag
by hand. Baez says Baldoquin told officers that he had forgotten that the
gun was in the bag. The gun had been reported stolen in 1996 and it was unclear why
Baldoquin was carrying it. Jail records did not show whether Baldoquin had an attorney.
