He was taken to the Los Angeles Police Department's Pacific Division and booked on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon, with bail set at $25,000. He claimed he had simply forgotten the weapon was still in his briefcase and never intended to take it on a plane. After police determined the weapon was unregistered, the charges were upgraded to a felony and bail was increased to $35,000.

Good movie. Farina was also in ‘Crime Story’; a wacky crime drama. The series starts out as a Chicago hard-boiled cop procedural, and devolves to surrealistic desert western by the end of the series. Steaming on Amazon, I believe.
