ATLANTA, Georgia – A 68-year-old Atlanta man was arrested Monday morning for trying to bring a loaded .38 revolver into the Fulton County courthouse, the sheriff’s office said.
Fulton County Sheriff’s Office Charles D. Throckmorton, 68, was arrested for allegedly trying to bring a loaded pistol into the Fulton County courthouse.
Charles D. Throckmorton apparently placed the gun in a bag that he then put on a conveyor belt at the courthouse, where a security guard noticed the weapon and notified a deputy, Tracy Flanagan, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office, said Tuesday afternoon.
The deputy on duty also found two speed loaders and a magazine clip for a .380 pistol, Flanagan said. The deputy asked Throckmorton whether he was a law enforcement officer and Throckmorton said no, she said.
Throckmorton was arrested and his bond was set at $3,000.
