[Chicago.CBSLocal] An Illinois State Senator running to replace Jesse Jackson Jr. in Congress was incarcerated
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
Wednesday morning after he allegedly tried to bring a gun onto a plane at O'Hare International Airport.
"Psst! Phyllis!"
"Yes, Shirley?"
"That man in row six! He's heeled!"
"Hmmm... Looks like some sort of politician to me! We better call airport security!"

Sen. Donne Trotter (D-Chicago) was charged with a felony count of attempting to board an aircraft with a weapon,
"Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up, yer honor!"
according to the Cook County State's Attorney's office. The charge carries a penalty of 1 to 3 years in jail.
"One to three years in jail? Tut tut, my good man! Do you know who I am?"
"Okay. Six to twelve, then!"

A police spokeswoman said Trotter is licensed to carry a weapon and has a valid Firearm Owner's Identification card.
... but he's not a federal marshal...
The TSA said the gun was loaded with seven rounds, but there was not a round in the gun's chamber.
Oh, well. That's a relief.
I didn't need the 'D' after his name to know which party...
