After causing a brief shutdown of Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport, Ivori Howard, 22, was arrested and charged in Harris County.
Officials say Howard was being checked out by paramedics.
Houston Airports said they determined Howard gained access to the airfield under a portion of the perimeter fence that meets federal regulation. Houston Airports worked with TSA to close the gap in the portion of fencing by welding additional security infrastructure.On Wednesday, Houston Airports shared this statement to FOX 26 about the security at Houston's airports:
George Bush Intercontinental Airport, William P. Hobby Airport and Ellington Airport meet all federal security requirements, inside and outside the airport. Bush Airport staff is responsible for 10,000 acres, which includes 43 miles of runways and taxiways; 100 miles of roadways; and approximately 30 miles of perimeter barbed-wire fence.
