MIKE HUCKABEE'S SON ACCUSED OF BRINGING GUN ONTO PLANE AND CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee's son David was recently arrested in Arkansas for bringing a loaded gun through airport security.

After being released from the Pulaski County Jail, Huckabee called the incident "a silly mistake" and said "it shouldn't" affect his father's presidential campaign.

According to the police report, the gun was a Glock and had a clip in it. Huckabee was asked if he knew what was in the bag, and “he replied he did now.” The report says he told authorities that he forgot the gun was in the bag.

Huckabee was arrested for carrying a weapon in a prohibited place at about 6 a.m.

He later pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge in Little Rock District Court. District Judge Lee Munson sentenced him to a one-year suspended jail sentence and ordered him to 10 days of community service, which he can avoid by paying $100. His fines and court costs totaled $855. He also will be on probation for a year.

Police say David Huckabee said he forgot he had the weapon inside his luggage. And Little Rock Police Lt. Terry Hastings said it is not unusual for people to forget they have a gun in their carry-on luggage.

Police say the 40-caliber Glock had eight live rounds in the clip but no bullet in the chamber. The pistol and ammunition were handed over to the Little Rock police.


This isn't the first time the lad has been in trouble. Back when he was a boyscout counselor, he was fired from his job after being accused of torturing a dog to death...


(Miller County, Arkansas) Two boy scout counselors, 17 year old Clayton Frady and 18 year old David Huckabee, the son of Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, have admitted to catching a stray dog during their summer session at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, AR, and hanging the dog by his neck, slitting his throat and stoning him to death.

Camp officials, who did not report the crime to law enforcement officials, have admitted that the act did occur and have fired the boys from their positions. However, no charges have been filed against the young men.

Arkansas State Police conducted a perfunctory investigation, but did not attempt to locate witnesses to the crime.
