(AP) -- DETROIT- A 27-year-old man who was arrested after authorities say he walked through a passenger screening checkpoint at Detroit Metropolitan Airport without a boarding pass and refused to obey security officers is due in court.
The man identified in a criminal complaint as Kaylan L. Policherla was to appear Tuesday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Detroit. He is charged with violating federal security requirements, a one-year misdemeanor.
The criminal complaint said Policherla illegally parked a 2001 Volkswagen Passat with an Ohio license plate outside the McNamara Terminal in Romulus before entering Monday morning. A portion of the terminal was evacuated.
Court records didn't indicate a lawyer for Policherla. Messages were left at Ohio phone numbers under his last name.
