Actor Dennis Farina, who was arrested at Los Angeles
International Airport for carrying a loaded gun on his way to board
a plane, has apologised for the incident.
The 64-year-old former policeman who built a Hollywood career
playing detectives issued a statement saying he was embarrassed by
the arrest.
"I apologise to anyone and everyone that I have caused any
embarrassment or inconvenience to," Farina said. "It is my own
stupidity to find myself in this embarrassing situation. I'll be
spending the next few days kicking my own a**. No one is more
embarrassed than myself."
Farina told police he brought the .22 caliber, semi-automatic
pistol with him on a drive from Arizona to Los Angeles and forgot
it was in his briefcase when he tried to pass through airport
security to board a flight to Chicago.
The actor, perhaps best known for his role of New York Detective
Joe Fontana on the television crime series Law & Order, was
booked on a felony count of carrying a loaded firearm.
