Mike Epps says he forgot gun was in his luggage after police seize weapon at airport

Police confiscated a gun Sunday from Mike Epps at the Indianapolis International Airport after the actor and comedian said he forgot he was carrying the weapon in his carry-on luggage. Epps was not arrested during the encounter.

According to a police report from the Indianapolis Airport Authority, an officer conducted a firearms investigation and found a .38-caliber revolver in Epps' backpack at a TSA checkpoint. Epps told the officer he was in town for a comedy show at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse and forgot the gun was in his bag.

A representative for Epps did not immediately respond Wednesday to the L.A. Times' request for comment.
