A man was arrested Saturday night after allegedly gaining unauthorized access to the tarmac at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, according to WBTV.
Elijah Pressley was charged with trespassing after officers found him around 10:30 p.m. near the ramp by Gate D4. Authorities say he bypassed two doors—one leading into a restricted area—and walked onto the ramp level, despite three posted warning signs.
Pressley was issued a $500 bond, which he later posted.
