Dennis Farina, two seasons as Detective Joe Fontana on Law & Order, was arrested at LAX Airport when shield found a loaded .22-caliber pistol in his briefcase. Oops!

TMZ reports that Farina “was apologetic and cooperative” when he explained he had the “gun in his briefcase when he drove from Arizona to L.A. and forgot it was there.” Farina plus added he was a veteran of the Chicago police force, but that wasn’t suitable, considering the gun was not registered. Farina was charged with felony gun possession and is still in custody while held on $25,000 bail.

Farina has put his stamp on unbreakable guy roles, whether on the

right side of the law–as a police lieutenant in Crime Story–or the wrong–playing a Jersey mobster in Get Shorty. whether you were to guess which former or current Law & Order actor would carry a gun, it’d be Farina or possibly Fred Thompson.
