Nugent carried gun through two separate Michigan Capitol checkpoints, report says [View all]

Lansing — Conservative rocker Ted Nugent cruised through not one, but two separate weapons detection systems while carrying a firearm when he entered the Capitol to testify at a June 25 committee hearing, according to a police report on the incident.

Just after 10 a.m. June 25, Nugent passed through a weapons detection system at the north annex entrance to the Capitol that was staffed by a Michigan State Police trooper, according to a State Police administrative complaint report obtained through a records request.

Nugent passed through the system, according to the report, "along with numerous others at that time."

The weapons detection system functioned correctly, the report said, but the trooper missed the alert indicating Nugent had a firearm.
