Airport Worker Charged With Stealing Guns And Trading Them For Pot

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Federal authorities say an airport baggage handler is accused of stealing firearms from passenger's bags in Austin and trading them for marijuana.

Twenty-five-year-old Ja'Quan Johnson surrendered Wednesday to FBI agents on charges that include possession of stolen firearms. 

The U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement that Johnson stole several handguns from bags from late November to early February, when he was a baggage handler at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
