A Twins Cities CEO for a multibillion-dollar medical technology company was arrested at an airport in India with a live cartridge in the pants he had on as he went to board a charter flight, a company official said.
Daniel J. Starks, of Little Canada-based St. Jude Medical Inc., was detained Wednesday at the airport "during [a] baggage check by the Central Industrial Security Force team," agency spokesman Rohit Katiyar told the Indo-Asian News Service.
Starks, 56, was on a business trip to Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh, the report added, when the cartridge for a pistol was discovered.
Kahit told the news service that Starks presented a U.S. arms license but it was not valid, prompting his arrest.
St. Jude spokeswoman Marisa Bluestone said Thursday morning that the shell "was left inadvertently in one of the lower leg pockets of a pair of cargo-type pants Dan was wearing."
