A United Airlines pilot has been charged after video shows him savaging a parking arm at a Denver International Airport employee parking lot with an ax.
A United Airlines pilot has been charged in a bizarre ax attack earlier this month in which he savaged a parking arm at a Denver International Airport employee parking lot, causing an estimated $700 in damage. Police say the pilot, Kenneth Henderson Jones, told them"He just hit his breaking point."Video of the incident on on Aug. 2 obtained by CBS News Colorado showed the 63-year-old pilot armed with a full-sized ax.
Jones has not responded to numerous inquiries from CBS News Colorado made by phone, email and text message. Russel Carlton, Corporate Communications Manager for United, said,"He was removed from the schedule and is on leave while United conducts an internal investigation." Carlton did not offer further comment or details.While Jones has not responded to messages, Adams County Sheriff's deputies say Jones told them,"He just hit his breaking point.
According to a police report, Jones also said he was trying to leave but he estimated there were six cars in line at each of the three exit gates. Airport administrators said there have been issues with the lot as people don't have proper permits. Deputies say Jones told them he"was trying to get rid of issues for everyone waiting."Videotape from airport cameras shows police officers assigned to the airport apprehend Jones in a nearby field and put him in handcuffs.
