Cops hauled a man off an airplane late Monday night at Armstrong International.
“The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office is investigating a disturbance involving a passenger aboard an aircraft,” Sergeant Brandon Veal said in an email.
He explained that a 34-year-old man was arrested following the incident.
“At approximately 11:20 p.m., the man began acting irrationally while aboard the aircraft and reportedly advised crew members that he had a bomb. The aircraft landed safely at the airport, where passengers were deplaned and transported to the terminal.”
Veal says the man was taken into custody and arrested.
“He was subsequently transported to the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center, where he was booked with communicating of false information of planned arson and terrorizing.”
There were no explosives found.
