A local Playboy Playmate was apparently packing heat.
Orlando police say they arrested Shanna Marie McLaughlin (left) Monday evening when she attempted to board a plane at Orlando International Airport while carrying a revolver in her bag.
On her way to Los Angeles, police say McLaughlin put the duffle through an X-ray machine at a security checkpoint and a Transportation Security Administration operator saw the gun and alerted police.
When confronted, police said the 26-year-old Playboy Miss July 2010 claimed the bag was hers, and that the gun belonged to her boyfriend. She says she didn't know the gun was inside the bag.
McLaughlin was jailed on a charge of carrying a firearm in a place prohibited by law.
Police said McLaughlin does have a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon. She has since been released from jail.
McLaughlin made national news last year, when she participated in a controversial Axis magazine photoshoot at her alma mater. The steamy shoot, featuring a scantily clad McLaughlin, took place in a UCF locker room.
