American idol contestant, "Baby V," apparently forgot that she had her handgun with her when she went into the airport in Southwest Florida:
Gun found in luggage of ‘Baby V’ at Southwest Florida International Airport
RACHEL MYERS • RMYERS@NEWS-PRESS.COM • JUNE 11, 2008
Former “American Idol” contestant and Fort Myers resident Vonzell “Baby V” Solomon, 24, was detained Tuesday after security at Southwest Florida International Airport discovered a gun in her luggage.
Lee Port Authority spokeswoman Barbara-Ann Urrutia said the gun was not loaded, and Solomon had reportedly forgotten she had it in her luggage. The weapon was found as Solomon was making her way through the TSA checkpoint on a U.S. Airways flight around 12:15 p.m.
The gun was confiscated, and Solomon was issued a notice to appear in court on a misdemeanor charge of carrying a weapon into an airport. Solomon does have a concealed weapons permit, but carrying it into an airport is a violation of that permit.
It is not clear whether the weapon will be returned to her upon completion of the case, Urrutia said. . . . .
