Man Arrested at Airport on Weapons Charges Before Bush's Arrival

Published: Jul 5, 2002

SANFORD, Maine (AP) - A man was arrested on weapons charges Friday near a small airport shortly before President Bush arrived on his way to his family's seaside home, police said.
The man was on a road near Sanford Regional Airport that authorities had closed because of Bush's arrival, said Sgt. Frank Holcomb of the Maine State Police.

The man, identified as Christopher Willey, 38, of nearby Springvale, was held on charges of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and having a loaded 9 mm gun in his vehicle, state Trooper Jeremy Forbes told the Portland Press Herald.

A home phone number for Willey could not be located and he was not allowed to accept calls at the York County jail.

Sanford's airport is often used by the Bush family when they visit Kennebunkport, about 20 miles away.
