NJ Man Tries to Get Through Airport Security With Gun in Belt Buckle<\/h3>\n

A New Jersey man didn’t make it past airport security on Friday after TSA officials discovered a gun tucked away inside his belt buckle.<\/p>\n

The Ridgefield Park man was stopped in Terminal C at Newark-Liberty International Airport at the start of the weekend when officers thought they found a replica gun inside of the large belt buckle.<\/p>\n

According to the TSA, a closer inspection proved the gun to be real and “could pop out of its decorate metallic oval frame.” Officials say the New Jersey man claimed he forgot he had the gun and belt buckle tucked away inside of his backpack.<\/p>\n

Port Authority Police seized the firearm and arrested the man on weapons charges, TSA officials said. He’s not the only person stopped at the airport this month with a gun.<\/p>\n

Officials said a man from Easton, Pennsylvania, was stopped on June 3 with a handgun inside his carry-on bag in Terminal A. He also claimed to have forgotten to be carrying the firearm as he attempted to clear the security checkpoint.<\/p>\n

Those arrests bring the total number of firearm arrests at the airport to five for the year, according to the TSA. Eleven firearm stops were made at Newark checkpoints in 2019 and 2020 according to TSA stats.<\/p>\n

“Claiming to forget that you have a gun with you is inexcusable,” Thomas Carter, TSA’s Federal Security Director for New Jersey, said in a statement. “If you own a gun you need to know where it is at all times.”<\/p>\n

Carter says both men face federal penalties up to “thousands of dollars.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Family captures convicted killer lurking in yard, peering in teen\u2019s bedroom window<\/h3>\n

A convicted killer was arrested after he was videoed peeking into a 17-year-old\u2019s bedroom and into the windows of a family home in Polk County, Florida.<\/p>\n

According to the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office on Wednesday, Santos Pantoja visited the home on 24 May and on 28 May, and was caught on camera.<\/p>\n

Sarah Martinez, the victim, said she \u201csaw the man surreptitiously looking into her windows\u201d and went out to confront Pantoja, but he drove away in a truck.<\/p>\n

A neighbour then installed a security camera, which videoed Pantoja returning to the home in Aubudndale on 28 May, when he was again confronted.<\/p>\n

Pantoja allegedly told a neighbour he was looking for his daughter who was missing, but Ms Martinez contacted the company on his truck, confirming it was Pantoja\u2019s \u2014 who had no work in the area.<\/p>\n

Ms Martinez then called 911, and Pola [sic] County sheriff\u2019s deputies arrested and charged Pantoja with burglary, possession of burglary tools, stalking, and voyeurism.<\/p>\n

Polka [sic] County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a video that Pantoja was \u201ca bad man, he\u2019s already been to state prison on two occasions, once for manslaughter, a lot of burglaries, a lot of grand thefts, on two different occasions\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was prowling around and trying to peep into the window of a 17-year-old child, that\u2019s right. There\u2019s two victims there, mum and the daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sheriff said Pantoja was in custody, and that investigations were ongoing, because \u201chow did he know there was a 17-year-old child there?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Martinez told WFLA-TV, a local TV station, that “Being able to see those videos is chilling\u201d and that her daughter was \u201cscared\u201d,<\/p>\n

“You can see there’s a point where he reaches up and pushes on my daughter’s window to see if it’s unlocked, I’m presuming. That is just something that I can’t stop thinking about.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
