Don King Cornered by TSA in Cleveland for Ammo in Carry-On Luggage

CLEVELAND (CBS/WOIO/AP) Bombastic boxing promoter Don King was stopped by security at Cleveland's Hopkins International Airport Sunday night for having ammunition in his carry-on luggage.

Airport spokeswoman Jacqueline Mayo says the 79-year-old King was stopped by members of the Transportation Safety Administration, who found King had ammunition for .38-caliber and .357-caliber firearms in his bag.

Mayo says the ammunition was taken and that King was released to continue his trip, she believes to Florida.

She said she didn't know if King received a citation.

CBS affiliate WOIO in Cleveland first reported the incident and said King was in Cleveland for his wife's funeral.

Eighty-seven-year-old Henrietta King died Thursday in Florida from complications from stomach cancer.
