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.
