Twitter joke leads to arrest and lifetime airport ban
A British man at the Robin Hood airport frustrated that his flight to Ireland would be canceled due to bad weather. Tweeted
“C---! Robin Hood airport is closed. You’ve got a week and a bit to get your s--- together, otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high.”
The police were alerted, and the 26-year-old finance supervisor was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to create a bomb hoax.
He is currently out on bail. Chamber’s Twitter post was removed, and his laptop, home computer and cell phone were taken away. He was also banned from Robin Hood Airport for life and suspended from his job indefinitely.
