LINTHICUM, Md. — A disturbance on BWI's airfield lands a passenger in handcuffs.

It happened around 9am Thursday.

Somehow a ticketed traveler gained unauthorized access to the tarmac outside Gate D-40.

Police identified the suspect as Jose Antonio Diaz Carillo.

WMAR received tips about Diaz Carillo illegally boarding an airport vehicle equipped with an elevator or lift, but those claims were denied by police and a BWI spokesperson.

Diaz Carillo was pre-screened by TSA prior to the incident.

No motive was revealed, but Diaz Carillo was arrested without any impact to airline operations.
