Florida Student Arrested After Bomb Threat to Long Beach Airport
LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- A South Florida college student who allegedly called in a bomb threat to a California airport because he was late for his flight is scheduled to appear in federal court today.
The FBI says 21-year-old Yechezkel Wells called in a bomb threat to the Long Beach Airport because he arrived late for his flight and couldn't board.
He was being held at a federal detention center in Los Angeles following his arrest last night and is charged with providing false information and making threats. It's not clear which college he attends. Reports say Wells arrived only minutes before a JetBlue flight to Fort Lauderdale was scheduled to leave.
The plane departed about an hour late after authorities using bomb-sniffing dogs determined it was safe.
