January 16th, 2009
‘Jackass’ star Johnny Knoxville was detained at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday (January 15), after he was found to have a grenade in his carry-on luggage.
“As he was being screened, security noticed an image of a hand grenade in his carry-on,” Los Angeles International Airport Police Sgt. Jim Holcomb told E! News. “Airport police and the bomb squad were called and it was determined there were no explosives or firing pin.”
Knoxville informed authorities that the grenade was a prop from a photo shoot and “completely forgot it was in his bag,” Holcomb said.
The LA City Attorney’s office says that a criminal complaint will be filed against the 38-year-old star.
