Sheriff Chris Nanos was stopped for bringing an undeclared semi-automatic rifle to a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint at the Tucson International Airport. Active-duty law enforcement officers are typically allowed to fly armed if they meet federal requirements and notify the airline in advance.

Incident Details

A TSA X-ray technician saw the weapon in the sheriff’s bag and flagged an officer. Airport police found five rounds in the magazine and another in the chamber. The sheriff was not charged or arrested but was read a Miranda warning.

The incident occurred in November 2024, ahead of a trip to Laguna Beach in California. The sheriff missed his flight but took a later plane to California. This incident has raised questions about the treatment of the sheriff compared to the average citizen.

Recent Arrests

Meanwhile, three YouTubers were arrested in Nancy Guthrie’s neighborhood for allegedly creating a public nuisance. The YouTubers, Alex Zabel, Troy Bradshaw, and Damian Enderle, were identified and face misdemeanor public nuisance charges. Zabel is also accused of obstructing the roadway.

A spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department stated that numerous complaints about blocked roadways, trespassing, and other neighborhood disruptions have been called in, and warnings allegedly went unheeded. The sheriff’s department is vowing to cite and release first-time offenders in Guthrie’s neighborhood, while anyone caught a second time may be jailed.
