A US national who was arrested at the Sangster International Airport yesterday, and later charged for firearms-related offences, was fined $30,000 or 30 days in prison when he appeared in the Western Regional Gun Court today (December 13).

He is 27-year-old Auden Kayton, an electrical linesman of Mount Holly, North Carolina in the United States.

Reports are that about 1:56 PM, Kayton was going through the security checkpoint at the airport, when his knapsack was scanned, and oddities were detected.

The police were alerted, and the bag was searched.

Two 9 MM cartridges were found.

Kayton was arrested and charged with illegal possession of ammunition.
