TulsaWorld reports officers at the Tulsa International Airport chased down and arrested a man who threatened to detonate a bomb at a security checkpoint Sunday night.
Timothy Harlow Hathaway, 42, is accused of making the bomb threat to a Transportation Security Administration employee about 8:20 p.m.
Authorities allege that Hathaway walked to the checkpoint and told the worker that he had a bomb and detonator in a gym bag that he was carrying. He then threatened to start an explosion before running away from the checkpoint, according to his arrest report.
Officers chased Hathaway down and he was taken to the Tulsa Jail, where he is held without bail on a complaint of threatening a violent act, jail records indicate.
Travelers were moved away from the area as the Tulsa Police Department's bomb squad checked for explosives. None were found, and Hathaway's gym bag contained only a second bag, said Alexis Higgins, the airport's marketing director.
