A claimed bomb on a full flight is why the crew treated it as an emergency and why the booking counts are serious. Those counts are Louisiana charges filed at the jail. The U.S. Attorney has not filed a federal case, and an ICE detainer does not decide the criminal case.
Rony Gomez-Alberto, 34, was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center on charges of communicating false information of planned arson and terrorizing. The booking followed a disturbance Monday night on United flight 2174 from Newark to New Orleans. The plane, with 46 passengers and six crew members, landed safely at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. He was arrested without incident.
Deputies said he told the crew he had a bomb, and Homeland Security said he tried to reach the cockpit. He is from Honduras. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged a detainer. The FBI said the U.S. Attorney's Office will decide whether to bring federal charges.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
