Delta passenger was waiting for his flight at John Wayne Airport. Then he allegedly steals a tug and tries to hijack an American Airlines sewage truck

A Delta Airlines passenger caused a major scene on the tarmac at John Wayne Airport on Wednesday, leading to a temporary halt of all flight operations, BroBible reported. The incident involved a 26-year-old traveler named Skyler Jay Barr, who was initially scheduled to board a flight to Seattle that evening. Instead of catching his ride, he decided to turn the airport grounds into his personal playground.

The situation kicked off around 5:30 P.M. when Barr allegedly forced his way through an emergency exit near Gate 12. Once he made it onto the restricted side of the terminal, he didn’t waste any time finding a set of wheels. He managed to commandeer a tug, which is a specialized vehicle designed to latch onto landing gear to help maneuver aircraft around the tarmac.
