Holiday Horror: Cleveland Hopkins International Airport faced delays on the busiest travel day of the year after a car crashed through the gate and drove onto the runway to try to escape police.
A lieutenant with the Fairview Park Police Department said the driver, identified as a 26-year-old Cleveland man, was taken into custody late Wednesday night, but no criminal charges have been filed yet.
The victim told police that she was driving around a parking lot looking for a lost pet when she got out and left the vehicle running. The 26-year-old man then “jumped in the car and began driving away,” Fairview Park police said. A short time later, police located the stolen car in the restricted area at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
