LOS ANGELES - Actor Dennis Farina was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport after a loaded gun was found in his carryon luggage.
When the weapon was discovered at a security checkpoint around 8 a.m. Sunday, police say the 64-year-old actor told them that he'd forgotten the .22-caliber handgun was in his luggage.
Police Sgt. Dennis Beacham of the LAPD's Pacific Division says Farina was booked for investigation of carrying a concealed weapon.
Bail was set at $25,000, before police discovered the weapon was not registered. Charges against Farina have been upgraded to a felony, and he is being held on $35,000.
Farina's latest film, the Ashton Kutcher-Cameron Diaz comedy "What Happens in Vegas," opened Friday.
Farina has starred in TV's "Law & Order" series and in such movies "Snatch" and "Get Shorty." The actor is also a former Chicago police officer.
Calls to Farina's lawyer and agent were not returned Sunday.
