LOS ANGELES - Dennis Farina has been charged with illegally having a gun in his luggage at Los Angeles International Airport.
The city attorney's office on Wednesday charged the "Law & Order" actor with three misdemeanor counts involving possession of a concealed and loaded weapon. The charges carry a combined maximum sentence of 2� years in jail and $3,000 in fines.
Farina was arrested three weeks ago when a .22-calibre handgun was found in his carry-on luggage. He publicly apologized and told police he forgot the weapon was there.
County prosecutors declined to charge Farina with felonies and referred the case to city prosecutors.
