The Michigan Advance reports:
Guitarist and sportsman Ted Nugent had a weapon on his person when he visited the Michigan Capitol on Wednesday, which was initially known to Michigan State Police before they approached him following his testimony to a House committee. That’s according to Department of State Police spokesperson Shanon Banner, who told Michigan Advance in an email that Nugent had a weapon on him due to a breakdown in security screening.
Nugent appeared Wednesday before a joint hearing of three different House committees mostly to rail against deer-baiting and other conservation regulations from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Rep. Laurie Pohutsky (D-Livionia), who called his testimony and invitation to speak before legislators “absurd,” posted on TikTok Thursday that it appeared that Nugent had a weapon on him while he stood and practically yelled at members of the House for more than 10 minutes.
