December 24, 2010 12:50 PM. Reporting Peter D’Oench. MIAMI (CBS4) – Miami-Dade police arrested 48-year-old Juan Manuel Baldoquin at Miami International Airport for allegedly trying to board a Vision Airlines flight to Cuba with a concealed weapon.

According to Miami-Dade Police and the Transportation Security Administration, a security worker saw the image of a firearm when Baldoquin was going through the x-ray machine at the TSA Checkpoint in Concourse G.

When police searched Baldoquin, they found a .25 caliber, nickel plated gun in his waist purse/fanny pack. Police said the gun was concealed in a pocket with a zipper in the front of the fanny pack.

Baldoquin reportedly told the arresting officer, “That is my firearm, I honestly forgot that I was carrying the firearm.”

When police performed a records check on the gun, they found that it was stolen in 1996 in West Palm Beach.

Baldoquin is being held on charges of carrying a concealed weapon, and theft.
