Man Pleads Guilty To Boarding Plane With Gun
PHILADELPHIA (AP) ―
A Philadelphia man faces up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to boarding an airplane while carrying a concealed weapon.
Twenty-nine-year-old Damien Young pleaded guilty Thursday to sneaking a handgun into Philadelphia International Airport and onto a flight at bound for Phoenix on June 4. Young was allegedly helped by roommate and airline employee Roshid Milledge.
Prosecutors say Milledge switched bags with Young at the gate to bypass security.
Authorities say Young was moving to Phoenix and wanted to take the legally registered gun with him.
Milledge is expected to plead guilty next week.
