Man Arrested At Fort Lauderdale International For Making Bomb Threat
Fearing Bag Fees, Makes Bomb Threat
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Boca Post (BocaPost.com) — Fort Lauderdale was arrested for making a false bomb threat after getting upset about baggage fees.
So a general rule of thumb is don’t say bomb on an airplane. Everyone has heard that, maybe we all assumed that would apply to airports as well? Well, not this guy.
Alin Olteanu, of Fort Lauderdale, was arrested at Fort Lauderdale International airport yesterday, 3/17/22, for doing just that.
Olteanu was upset that he would have to pay a baggage fee for his 2nd bag, so he consolidated everything into one bag. When he left the 2nd bag behind, the staff asked him what he was going to do with the 2nd bag. Olteanu told staff, “I will leave it right there, and by the way, it has a bomb in it.”
BSO deputies and the BSO bomb squad responded and took the suspect into custody. Even though the threat was unfounded, Olteanu was arrested for making the threat.
Olteanu is currently in Broward jail with bond set at $20,000 after being arrested for False Report Bomb Explosive Weapon Mass Destruction.
It is obvious that Olteanu has missed his flight and will pay much more than the airlines ridiculius bag fees.
