PHOENIX (KMOX) - A woman from St. Louis is facing a felony charge after running onto the tarmac at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
According to Phoenix police, Vickie Meyers, 53, of St. Louis was running late for her flight on Sunday afternoon. When she was informed that she'd have to wait for the next flight, she ran through the glass doors separating the passenger area and the secure airfield.
Police say she told employees she was “attempting to have the plane stopped so she would not miss her flight.”
A bystander captured video of Meyers, which he shared with Fox 10 in Phoenix:
She was stopped by employees as she ran down a flight of stairs towards the nose of the aircraft that was preparing to depart.
Meyers has been charged with first degree criminal trespassing on a crucial public service facility, which is a felony in Arizona.
