<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Basketball star and former Carmel, Ind., resident Alan Henderson was arrested over the holiday weekend at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport for allegedly having a gun in his luggage, a Queens County Criminal Court spokesman said Wednesday night. Henderson, 32, known for a clean-cut image while playing for Brebeuf Jesuit and Indiana University through 1995, was detained Saturday and jailed overnight, then arraigned and released without bail after appearing in court Sunday, said Patrick Clark, communications director for Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown. Neither Henderson, who now lives in Florida, nor his mother, who still resides here, responded to repeated telephone calls. Henderson is charged with second- and third-degree counts of criminal possession of a weapon. If convicted, the maximum penalty is 15 years in prison. Queens County Judge Joseph Grosso set Henderson's next court date for Aug. 25. Clark, citing the arrest report, said Henderson presented to airport check-in a black suitcase that contained a metal lock box. Inside was a 9 mm Glock 26 pistol, loaded with 20 rounds of ammunition. There was also a holster for a 9 mm. It was not known where Henderson was flying or if he had a permit to carry the gun in another state. New York gun laws are considered some of the most stringent in the country, Clark said. Henderson was stopped at a JetBlue terminal before boarding the flight. After acknowledging that he did not have a valid New York permit or license for the firearm, he was arrested at 3:45 p.m., Clark said.</div> Source
I don`t beleive this report. Something like this would be on ESPN or NBA.com or maybe even on national news but I haven`t seen anything except this small report from IndyStar.
Alan Henderson isn't exactly front-page material. Indy Star reported the story because he played for the College of Indiana. It's not a big deal, he just didn't have a permit to carry a gun in NY. ESPN
