Maryland Transportation Authority Police Sgt. Kirk Perez said the .38-caliber gun was found Wednesday just before 9 a.m. when the woman was traveling through airport security.

Perez said she was arrested but later released and was cooperative with police. Perez said Hoover will have to return the court to face the charge. The weapon was confiscated.
