A security professional operating an x-ray machine at a courthouse checkpoint identified a firearm inside a backpack. She instructed the individual to proceed through the magnetometer, secured the backpack, and immediately surrendered the bag to the on-duty deputy.
The individual who brought the backpack was identified and arrested on multiple charges. It was later found that he was under an active domestic violence protective order, which prohibited him from possessing firearms. Due to level-headedness and thorough work, our security professional helped to avert a potential threat.
