It pays to be a multimillionaire celebrity… Everyone knows you NEVER BRING A LOADED GUN TO AN AIRPORT… everyone, except Dwight Howard apparently.
According to TMZ Sports, the NBA superstar was stopped at George Bush Airport in Houston on August 28th when Dwight put his carry-on bag through the scanner, and a TSA agent noticed a LOADED GLOCK inside!
Law enforcement sources say a further inspection revealed the gun — a Glock 26 9mm — was LOADED with one round in the chamber.
Dwight said he simply forgot the gun was in the bag.
But multiple law enforcement sources say because it’s Texas — and they have looser gun laws than states like California — Dwight was NOT ARRESTED.
Cops were called to the scene, but we’re told he was allowed to give the weapon to an associate who took the gun out of the airport.
As for Dwight, once he was disarmed he was allowed to get back in the security line and boarded his plane as if nothing ever happened.
The Houston Police Department say the District Attorney was aware of the case, but ultimately decided NOT to prosecute Howard.
Lucky guy… Texas is definitely more lenient but considering the “war on terrorism”, it’s hard to believe a regular person would’ve gotten off scot-free after bringing a loaded gun to the airport.
