[State Sen. Jeff] Wilson was arrested and charged with unlicensed possession of a firearm in Hong Kong on October 21, 2023, after being found with a revolver at the Hong Kong International Airport. The gun is legally licensed in Washington State, but not in Hong Kong. According to Wilson, he discovered the unloaded firearm in his luggage in his carry-on luggage mid-flight. He alerted airport authorities and was subsequently arrested. After his initial court hearing, Wilson and his family had verbal exchanges with reporters at the courthouse, leading to police mediation. Wilson was said to have verbally abused the reporters and asked them to delete any photos taken outside of the courthouse. He was ordered to surrender his travel documents and not to leave Hong Kong until his next court date.

Here’s hoping his next court date is some time in 2028.
