The explosive device was found in the possession of Ryan Weaver, 30, of Henderson, Texas, by Transportation Security Administration personnel shortly after noon Monday, according to the Palm Springs Police Department.

As a response, personnel from the police department, the Riverside County Sheriff Office’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team and military were called to the scene.

Weaver told officers that he found the device “in the field” the previous year and kept it. However, Weaver, was unsure if the device was live.

The EOD team examined the explosive using X-ray technology and confirmed that it was a live 25mm high-explosive round.

The round was safely removed from the airport and taken to a desert area off Gene Autry Trail, south of Interstate 10, where it was destroyed without incident or injuries.

During the investigation, Weaver was detained, and Riverside County District Attorney’s Office will review his case related to a possible violation of possession of a destructive device, police said.

Weaver may also face administrative action by the Marine Corps and a potential fine through TSA. He was released to military authorities.

Kirkland died in hospice care following an extended health battle.

Born in New York City, Kirkland was named after her mother, a fashion editor at both Vogue and Life Magazine. She worked as a Vogue model herself before studying at the Actors Studio with famed teachers Lee Strasberg and Uta Hagen, embarking on her stage career in 1963.

She became deeply involved in the avant-garde movement in the 1960s, working with Warhol’s experimental films before graduating to more establishment movies in the 1970s.

She had supporting roles in two huge Robert Redford vehicles in 1973, “The Sting” and “The Way We Were.” Other big-screen roles included “The Young Nurses” (1973), “Crazy Mama” (1975), “A Star Is Born” (1976) and “Private Benjamin” (1980).

In 1987, she won a Golden Globe for best actress and earned an Oscar nomination for the drama “Anna,” playing a fading Czech movie star remaking her life in the United States and mentoring to a younger actor, Paulina Porizkova.

Her 1990s film roles included “Bullseye!” (1990), “Revenge” (1990), “JFK” (1991), “The Player” (1992), “Gunmen” (1994), “Excess Baggage” (1997) and “EDtv” (1999).

Later films included supporting work in “Bruce Almighty” (2003), “Adam & Steve” (2005) and “Big Stan” (2007).

Kirkland’s television credits include appearances on “Criminal Minds,” “Roseanne,” “Head Case,” “Valley of the Dolls” and “Charlie*s Angels.”

She also advocated for women harmed by breast implants, painted and taught acting, and was an ordained minister in the church of Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness.

Friends had established a GoFundMe page to help the actress pay for her continuing health battle. Organizers said that despite her successful career as a working actor, she lost a lot of money from bad advice from a former financial adviser-business manager.

TMZ reported that Kirkland began to develop dementia last year.

According to the GoFundMe page, she recently suffered from other health complications, including life-threatening infections and fracturing “four bones in her neck, right wrist and her left hip.”
