Leggett was taken into state police custody and he was charged with two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon and two counts of circumventing airport security, according to state police.

While Leggett was in state police custody, troopers said they learned that the New Britain Police Department had an active arrest warrant for Leggett.

Leggett was later released from state police custody on a $15,000 bond and was then turned over to New Britain police custody.

He was ordered to appear in court on the state police charges on March 10.
