Man Caught With Stun Guns at New York Airport

The latest incident -- which appeared to be unrelated to the first -- occurred shortly after 9:00 p.m. local time Sunday in the airport's Terminal One, sources said.

Othon Mourkakos, 53, a restaurateur from Alpine, N.J., was busted as he waited to catch a Lufthansa Airlines flight for Frankfurt, Germany, according to sources.

Transportation Security Administration screener Romane Romain noticed the stun guns in a suitcase during an X-ray and physical bag search, according to a criminal complaint.

"I didn't know it was illegal in New York," Mourkakos allegedly told authorities.

He claimed to have bought the weapons for relatives in Greece because of the civil unrest there, a law-enforcement source said.
