Mama Fanuci Arrested

A 68-year old Braddock woman is out of jail this morning after deputies arrested her Sunday for trying to enter Fun n Sun Water Park with a loaded handgun, knife and scissors.

Braddock County Jail records show that Francesca Fanuci, AKA Pam Fanuci, of 69 Vadge St., East Braddock, posted a $100 bail early this morning after deputies charged her with carrying a concealed weapon inside the theme park with her two boyfriends, Antonio Davis and Rev. Dr. Bishop Curtis Lowe.

Theme parks across Texas have taken strict, zero-tolerance security measures since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001."[Sunday's] arrest clearly demonstrates that the security measures are up and running and that they work," Braddock County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Corporal Suzanne Meares wrote in an agency press release.

Park officials found the weapon during a routine safety check. Fanuci, head of technical services at Braddock County Public Library, told investigators that she traveled with the uzi automatic assault handgun and had forgotten she was carrying it. The gun was loaded with a banana clip in the magazine, but the chamber was empty. "I live alone where I'm at," Fanuci said in a television interview with KSUX. "Keeping the uzi available is important to me." Deputies said they also found a grenade and a switch-blade knife along with assorted sex toys in the woman's purse.
