According to Texas A&M’s Lieutenant Bobby Richardson, the guard was trying to board a flight from College Station, Texas and the Transportation and Security Administration found what seemed to be a herb grinder with marijuana packed inside.
Both are misdemeanor charges and according to reports, Caruso was arrested and later released after posting bond.
