Las Vegas, NV (KXNT)- Travelers from coast to coast are frustrated by fees that are tacked onto the cost of their trip, by one Las Vegas man is said to have taken that frustration a little too far.
Las Vegas Metro Police have arrested 52-year-old Andrew Greco after they say Greco threaten to blow up McCarran International Airport. Police say that Greco was first involved in an incident at McCarran on April 23.
Greco was supposed to fly from Las Vegas to Reno and was told by a Frontier Airlines ticket counter worker he would need to pay $55 to check his bag, according to a police report. Greco got upset, because he reportedly already paid $17 online to check his bag. Greco argued with the ticket worker, using foul language and obscene gestures.
Greco became increasingly upset as he tried to call the Frontier Airlines customer service line, claiming "they did not speak English," the report said.
The following day, Frontier reported what were called "non-specific threats" that included blowing up multiple airplanes and McCarran Airport, and committing a mass shooting.
Investigators determined that the person who made the threats was Greco and arrested him at the South Point Hotel. According to court records, Greco was given a $5,000 bail on the condition he stay away from McCarran Airport. Greco's next court appearance was set for May 11.
