Sheriff's Gun in Carry-On Sparks Recall Push

0:00It's April 4th. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and celebrity news, where pop culture meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is facing fresh heat after getting stopped at a Tucson airport TSA checkpoint with a loaded glock in his carrying on bag. Back on November 6th, 2024, the X-ray caught a right away, one round in the chamber, and five more in the magazine. Offices cleared the gun, read him his rights, but no arrests went down, and he just secured it in his car before catching a later flight. A local Tucson resident named Cory Stevens called it out at a county board meeting on November 12th, questioning why it flew under the radar and, why Nanos skipped real consequences. She argued any regular person would face bigger fallout for the same slip-up, especially since law enforcement folks know the drill on declaring, weapons ahead of time. Retired FBI agent James Galliano called the whole thing baffling, pointing out active officers can fly armed if they coordinate with TSA and their agency first.

1:03Nanos's name checked out clean with no warrants, and the report even noted the gun wasn't hidden on purpose. This piles on top of Nanos' rough handling of the Nancy Guthrie abduction case. Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mom snatched on February. First with zero leads or suspects after more than two months, critics slammed him for releasing the scene too soon. Mixed messages to media and dodging FBI help. Now a recall push is gaining steam from a Republican candidate labeling Nanos a national embarrassment as folks demand accountability to keep the community safe. Stay tuned as this Sheriff Drama unfold.
