Canyon County Commissioner David Ferdinand
BOISE -- The Canyon County commissioner who police say tried to bring a gun through the security line at the Boise Airport will stand trial today.
Security spotted a handgun in Dave Ferdinand’s carry-on luggage when it went through an x-ray machine last February.
Ferdinand said he had no knowledge of the gun, and didn't intend to do any harm.
He also paid a $1,500 fine to the TSA.
Today’s trial stems from charges filed by the city of Boise.
