Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Rodregous says 50 year old Gokhan Gun of Falls Church was on his way to the airport to go fishing in Mexico when he was arrested Friday. Authorities tell WRC-TV Gun was carrying classified documents, some marked Top Secret, along with his intelligence-community credentials. Court records show more classified material was found inside of his home.
