Washington state Sen. Jeff Wilson covers himself as he arrives at West Kowloon Magistrates Courts in Hong Kong, Monday, Oct. 30, 2023. A Hong Kong court dismissed a gun charge Monday against the Washington state senator who had been arrested after he carried a gun into the Chinese territory in what he called an “honest mistake.
Principal Magistrate Don So approved the arrangement for a bind-over order rather than a plea to possessing an unlicensed firearm, saying he was inclined to believe Wilson was innocent. With the case dispensed without a conviction, Wilson is free to leave the territory. A statement posted earlier on the Longview lawmaker’s website had said while the gun was not registered in Hong Kong it is registered in Washington.
