Michael Moore's Bodyguard Arrested on Airport Gun Charge
Thursday, January 20, 2005
NEW YORK - Filmmaker Michael Moore's (search) bodyguard was arrested for
carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York's JFK airport Wednesday night.
Police took Patrick Burke, who says Moore employs him, into custody
after he declared he was carrying a firearm at a ticket counter. Burke
is licensed to carry a firearm in Florida and California, but not in New
York. Burke was taken to Queens central booking and could potentially be
charged with a felony for the incident.
Moore's 2003 Oscar-winning film "Bowling for Columbine" criticizes what
Moore calls America's "culture of fear" and its obsession with guns.
