The wife of rock musician Ted Nugent has been arrested after a handgun was found in her carry-on luggage at a US airport security checkpoint.
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport spokesman David Magana confirmed to The Dallas Morning News that 51-year-old Shemane Ann Nugent was taken into custody yesterday.
Shemane Nugent's attorney, David Finn, says she made an "honest mistake" and either forgot or never knew the gun was in her bag. Finn says Nugent has a license to carry a concealed weapon.
Ted Nugent is an outspoken supporter of gun rights. The Morning News reports security personnel at the airport this year through July have found 57 guns in carry-on bags.
