Man arrested after wearing 'wrong belt' into Daley Center

CHICAGO (STNG/AP) -- A southwest suburban man is free on bond Tuesday after he was arrested for allegedly trying to bring weapons into the Daley Center by hiding them in his belt.

Jamie Busk, 38, of Evergreen Park was stopped about 2 p.m. Monday at the Daley Center entrance near Randolph and Dearborn, according to a release from the Cook County Sheriff's office.

While Busk was going through a security X-ray machine, courthouse Deputy David Nowacki noticed several metal objects that appeared to be inside his belt. He stopped Busk and inspected the belt, finding a built-in zipper with several objects tucked inside.

Among the items found in the belt were a pocket knife with a 2-inch blade and handcuff keys, while the buckle was fashioned so it could also be used as a weapon, the release said.

Busk, who told the deputy he wore the wrong belt today, was charged with unlawful storage of a weapon.
