Overview
- The incident occurred on December 20 as Vincent Gross traveled home via BER after a concert in Saxony, and he was allowed to continue his journey once the item was cleared.
- Gross said a large police contingent searched all of his carry-on luggage after the test flagged the packaged fan gift.
- In his Instagram video he joked he had almost gone to prison and wondered aloud about legal responsibility for unopened gifts.
- He thanked the fan, identified as Natalie, and the officers, and Natalie later commented humorously on his post.
- Entertainment outlets reported the episode from Gross’s social media account, and no formal police statement has been cited.
