Republican Representative Victoria Spartz from Indiana was charged on Friday with a weapons violation at Washington Dulles International Airport. The Metropolitan Airports Authority spokesperson confirmed that Spartz violated a section of Virginia law that prohibits carrying any gun, explosive, or stun weapon into an air carrier airport terminal.
Spartz, who is the first Ukrainian-born member of Congress, received a summons to appear in a Virginia court. The violation is considered a Class 1 misdemeanor, with further details not immediately available.
