Stefan Mathias Hutchison, 33, of Oakland, told arresting officers he wanted to go home immediately, not wait for a flight on Monday.
Police said he had also been arrested Saturday at the airport on misdemeanor charges after passing Transportation Security Administration screeners in what police also called a security breach.Hutchison remained jailed ahead of a court date Wednesday before a Las Vegas judge on a burglary charge based on Nevada law making it a felony to enter a building with an intent to commit a crime.
The arresting officer, Eric Jones, wrote the airport at that hour was "extremely busy with thousands of travelers." He said he heard "approximately 10 loud banging sounds" in the airline ticketing area and saw "hundreds of frightened citizens fleeing," including "trampling over each other," and rushing past TSA checkpoints."I determined the loud bangs were stanchions falling on the floor when the citizens were escaping the area," Jones wrote.
Hutchison spent several hours in jail following his arrest Saturday before a judge freed him with a promise to appear Oct. 11 on the misdemeanor charges. He was accused of passing a TSA screening checkpoint, entering a boarding gate concourse and taking a pair of sunglasses from a variety store before he was arrested.
The arrest report corrected Hutchison’s hometown. Police said Monday he was from Carmichael, California.
