Michigan Man Charged for Spirit Airlines Bomb Hoax

John Charles Robinson, a 23-year-old from Monroe, Michigan, was arrested and charged after making a false bomb threat to delay Spirit Airlines Flight 2145 from Detroit to Los Angeles, having missed his boarding time. Authorities say Robinson called Spirit Airlines, claiming someone would attempt to blow up the flight and the airport, leading to the plane's evacuation and a large-scale law enforcement response. The incident caused a six-hour delay as passengers were removed, screened, and the aircraft was searched, but no explosives were found. Robinson was identified through phone records and arrested when he returned to the airport later the same day to catch another flight. He appeared in federal court, was released on bond, and is scheduled to return for a preliminary hearing on June 27. Officials stressed that such threats waste resources, undermine public security, and will be thoroughly investigated.
