The 82-year-old actor and comedian was stopped at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, en route to Detroit, when staff spotted the gun during routine baggage screening.
Police detained Lewis and confiscated a .22-calibre handgun. He was cited for allegedly carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, a spokesman for Las Vegas police said.
The star’s manager, Claudia Marghilano, said the gun was a “hollowed-out prop gun” which Lewis uses in his stage show, adding that it was incapable of firing.
