LEWIS GUN CHARGES DROPPED

LATEST: A judge in Las Vegas has dismissed a gun charge against comedian JERRY LEWIS.

JERRY LEWIS

The veteran funnyman was stopped by airport police in the city in July (08) after they found an unloaded firearm in his bag.

Lewis was subsequently cited for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

But now a judge has dropped the charge, agreeing not to impose a heavy fine on the 82-year-old.

Lewis' lawyer, Ross Goodman, described Friday's (19Sep08) resolution as "a good result for a great guy".

The comedian insisted the weapon was a gift from an engraver which he had forgotten was in his bag.
