A Delta Air Lines passenger went out a terminal door at a Southern California airport Tuesday night, stole a vehicle on the tarmac, crashed it, and then tried to commandeer an airline truck before he was arrested, an airport official said.
The passenger, who was scheduled to fly to Seattle, went out an access door at gate 12 at John Wayne Airport in Orange County around 5:30 p.m. PT, airport spokesperson AnnaSophia Servin told CNN.
The man then stole an Alaska Airlines tug, a type of vehicle used for moving luggage trailers or planes around the airfield, and drove it to gate 7, where he crashed into another vehicle, the airport said.
The Delta passenger then attempted to steal a lavatory service truck belonging to American Airlines before he was arrested by airport police, Servin said.
“There was a security breach at the airport. Looks like someone stole a tug so they pretty much shut down,” an air traffic controller told pilots of planes waiting on the tarmac in audio recorded by the ATC.com app.
Airport crews inspected the man’s route down a taxiway between gates 7 and 12 for any debris or other hazards, and planes quickly resumed moving around the airfield.
“Delta has zero tolerance for unlawful behavior, and we take all incidents seriously,” the airline said in a statement. “Nothing is more important than the safety and security of our customers and people, and we are cooperating fully with law enforcement.”
26-year-old Jay Barr was arrested on charges of vehicle theft, trespassing and vandalism, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said. He currently remains in custody and CNN could not locate legal representation for him.
CNN has reached out to Alaska Airlines and American Airlines for more information.
John Wayne Airport, in suburban Los Angeles, serves more than 11 million passengers a year and has flights to 50 destinations.

一位机场官员表示，周二晚上，一名达美航空公司的乘客从南加州机场的航站楼大门走出，在停机坪上偷了一辆车，撞毁了车辆，然后试图劫持一辆航空公司卡车，之后被警方逮捕。
机场发言人安娜索菲亚·塞尔文告诉 CNN，这名乘客原定飞往西雅图，于太平洋时间下午 5:30 左右从橙县约翰·韦恩机场 12 号登机口的通道门离开。
据机场方面称，该男子随后偷走了一辆阿拉斯加航空公司的拖车（一种用于在机场内移动行李拖车或飞机的车辆），并将其开到 7 号登机口，在那里撞上了另一辆车。
塞尔文说，这名达美航空的乘客随后试图偷走一辆属于美国航空公司的厕所服务车，之后被机场警察逮捕。
“机场发生了安全漏洞。好像有人偷了一辆拖车，所以机场基本上关闭了。”空中交通管制员在ATC.com应用程序录制的音频中告诉停机坪上等待起飞的飞机的飞行员。
机场工作人员检查了该男子沿 7 号和 12 号登机口之间的滑行道行进的路线，查看是否有碎片或其他危险，飞机很快恢复了在机场周围的移动。
达美航空在一份声明中表示：“达美对任何违法行为都采取零容忍态度，我们严肃对待所有事件。没有什么比我们乘客和员工的安全更重要，我们正在全力配合执法部门的调查。”
橙县警局称，26岁的杰伊·巴尔因涉嫌盗窃车辆、非法侵入和故意破坏财物被捕。他目前仍被拘留，CNN未能联系到他的律师。
CNN已联系阿拉斯加航空公司和美国航空公司以获取更多信息。
