A passenger was arrested after allegedly telling crew members he had a bomb aboard a United Airlines flight from Newark to New Orleans on Monday, November 9. The aircraft landed safely at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.

United confirmed that Flight 2174 carried 46 passengers and six crew members, according to FOX 8. Passengers left the aircraft and were transported to the terminal after it arrived.

Separate reporting described an alleged attempt to enter the cockpit that prompted pilots to issue a hijacking alert. The New York Post attributed those details to Daily Mail coverage citing aviation content creator Aaron Rheins and air traffic control audio he reviewed. Those claims go beyond the details in the sheriff’s account reported by FOX 8.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office said deputies arrested a 34-year-old man without incident. He was taken to the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center and booked on charges of communicating false information about planned arson and terrorizing, FOX 8 reported.

The sheriff’s office is investigating the disturbance. Its account, as reported by the station, did not say that an explosive device had been found.
