Former Law & Order star Dennis Farina has been charged with three misdemeanor weapons charges after police say they found a .22-caliber handgun in his briefcase as he tried to board a place bound for Chicago from LAX Airport last month. He has been charged with one count each of carrying a weapon into a secured area, possession of a concealed weapon, and possession of a loaded weapon in a public place. Farina, a retired nineteen year veteran with the Chicago Police was reportedly “apologetic and cooperative” following the incident, telling authorities he forgot he was carrying the weapon.
