A convicted felon tried to board a flight from Newark to Fort Lauderdale with two unregistered semi-automatic rifles, a Taser, a switchblade, a .40 caliber Glock handgun, and a fake U.S. Marshal's badge, the Daily Beast reports.
The suspect, Seretse Clouden, was arrested on Dec. 30 at Newark Liberty International Airport.
The weapons were checked luggage, "along with a ballistic vest, multiple rounds of ammunition, a switchblade, an expandable baton, and a badge and ID card identifying himself as a U.S. marshal, the complaint states," the Beast's report stated.
Clouden, who was convicted on a state weapons possession charge in 2016, was confirmed by authorities that he is not and "was not, employed with the United States Marshal Service."
