Jackass Indeed: Knoxville Brings Grenade to LAX

Photo-shoot prop was inactive, but actor will face criminal complaint

Share

(Newser) – Los Angeles International Airport authorities detained former Jackass star Johnny Knoxville for bringing a grenade in a carry-on bag today, the E! Online reports. The bomb squad determined the grenade was not explosive. Knoxville was issued a citation and permitted to board his plane. “He told police it was a prop from a photo shoot and he completely forgot it was in his bag,” a spokesman says.

Johnny Knoxville was still allowed to board his plane after bringing a non-explosive grenade in a bag.

If you've followed the series of films, you'd know, chances are he probably did it on purpose; his MO. I hope he's hit hard with a serious bill for all services rendered, perhaps some jail time, for the anxiety he caused with staff, and other patrons. Reply
