Prosecutor: Appeals court judge enters plea for airport handgun
 


ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) — Prosecutors say a judge on the Michigan appeals court has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for having a handgun in a carry-on bag at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

The gun was found in Judge Henry Saad’s bag Feb. 21. Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy announced the charge Monday, saying other travelers caught with a gun have faced a similar charge. In a statement, she suggested it was an “unintentional” breach of airport security.

Worthy’s office says Saad appeared Tuesday for arraignment at 34th District Court in Romulus and a judge permitted him to plead guilty in the court’s chambers.

Prosecutors say the plea should have been heard in open court.

The 68-year-old has been on the appeals court since 1994.
