PHOENIX — A man was arrested earlier this month after he allegedly ran across the tarmac at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport while drunk.

The Phoenix Police Department said it responded to a call about 11:45 p.m. on Nov. 6 after 24-year-old Dalton James Reimer was spotted on the tarmac by employees.

Police said it is unknown how Reimer gained access to the tarmac. It is surrounded by a fence.

Police did not confirm other reports that Reimer had walked on a runway. However, he was found on a taxiway, which planes use to access runways.

Reimer was charged with trespassing.

Reimer was in Phoenix for work. He lives in Iowa.

You have to wonder how weak security is for this to be able to happen.
