CNN star's wife caught with loaded gun at airport

The wife of CNN Moneyline host Lou Dobbs was arrested at a New Jersey airport security checkpoint after a loaded gun was found in her handbag.

Debi Dobbs, 49, was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and released on bail after yesterday’s incident at Newark Liberty International Airport.

She did not tell officers why she had the gun, said Allen Morrison, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport.

Dobbs, whose husband hosts the nightly CNN business show Moneyline, lives in Sussex, New Jersey, and was at the airport to board a flight to Florida.

CNN spokeswoman Christa Robinson said Lou Dobbs was not with his wife at the airport. She said the anchor was on holiday with his family and was not available for comment.
