I hate Bill Russell. Not for his politics, but for he did to my Lakers while being a with the Celtics in the 1960’s. Bill Russell, an old man man was arrested for ‘allegedly’ bringing a loaded gun to Sea-Tac International Airport in Seattle. Russell is almost 80 years old. He should know better than that. Of course he is a big Obama licker, so maybe common sense just isn’t his thing.
Russell, 79, was arrested Wednesday and issued a state citation for having a weapon in a prohibited area of the airport, said Perry Cooper, a Port of Seattle Police Department spokesman.
Russell was issued a citation and released. He had a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun in a forbidden area of the airport, said Lisette Garcia, a Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman.
The gun was found during a screening of carry-on bags at a checkpoint, the TSA said.
“Firearms, ammunition, firearm parts and realistic replicas of firearms are always prohibited in carry-on baggage. However, these items can be transported in checked baggage provided the traveler declares them to the airline during the ticket counter check-in process,” a TSA statement said.
Along with the state citation, Russell could be fined up to $7,500, the TSA said.
