January 12, 2004 -- Award-winning country music songwriter Hugh Prestwood, who scored No. 1 hits for Randy Travis and Trisha Yearwood, was arraigned yesterday on a weapons-possession charge after a loaded gun turned up in his carry-on bag at Long Island's MacArthur Airport.
Suffolk County police said Prestwood, 61, was being held in lieu of bail at the Suffolk County jail in Riverhead. "He didn't make bail," police spokesman Officer Bob McLaren said.
Prestwood, a resident of Greenport on Long Island's North Fork, was heading for Nashville on Friday when the gun, a .38-caliber revolver, was allegedly discovered during the baggage-screening process at the airport, police said.
The songwriter and singer was charged with one count of possessing a weapon, as well as two counts of drug possession relating to two medicines found for which he had no prescription.
