FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (Boca Post) — A Lauderhill man has been arrested after calling 9-1-1 to report that there was going to “be a big guns fight shootout at the airport” which caused a large response by Broward Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office Threat Management Unit (TMU) arrested a Lauderhill man for charges related to a false report of firearms at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
According to investigators, at around 12:30 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 25, Datron Devonne Roscoe contacted the Broward County Regional Communications Emergency Dispatch and stated that there was going to “be a big guns fight shootout at the airport” and that “there’s gonna be a lot of gunfire call everybody.”
