According to US media such as Fox 2 Detroit and the New York Post, Charles Robinson, 23, from Monroe, Michigan, argued with airline employees after missing Spirit Airlines Flight 2145 at Detroit Airport in the early hours of the 7th (local time). Employees informed them that they needed to rebook, but Robinson was unhappy with this.
He immediately called the airline and falsely reported that a bomb appeared to have been installed on Spirit Airlines Flight 2145, which he had missed.
At the same time, he also provided a detailed description of the bomber he had imagined.
The report forced the plane, which was preparing to take off, to stop on the runway and all passengers had to get off the plane.
In addition, authorities mobilized police, rescue teams and explosive detection dogs to search the cabin.
Judging by the false report, police and the FBI tracked down the reporter's whereabouts and arrested Robinson, who was trying to fly to Los Angeles.
During the investigation, he confessed that "I made a false report out of anger after missing the plane.'
In a statement, U.S. prosecutors strongly criticized "No one wants to hear the words 'bomb' and 'plane' in the same sentence"These threats undermine our collective sense of safety and waste valuable law enforcement resources." Prosecutors charged Robinson with reporting a false bombing.
