INDIANAPOLIS --
An Indianapolis woman was arrested after she tried to bring two loaded handguns into Indianapolis International Airport, police said.
Maria L. Crutchfield, 56, was stopped at a security checkpoint just before 7 p.m. Saturday after an X-ray machine showed the outline of a gun in her carry-on luggage, police said.
Crutchfield was carrying two loaded handguns -- a .25 caliber black Colt automatic and a 6mm black Browning -- at the very bottom of her bag, police said.
Crutchfield told officers she had forgotten the guns were in her purse when she came to catch a flight from Indianapolis to Baltimore-Washington International Airport.
She also admitted to not having a license for the guns, police said.
Crutchfield was arrested and preliminarily charged with entering a controlled area of an airport with a weapon and carrying a handgun without a license.
