Fired airport worker accused of returning to Charlotte Douglas with a gun, making threats
A man who got fired from Enterprise Rent-A-Car at Charlotte Douglas Airport is accused of returning with a gun. According to court records, Isaiah Williams was fired on Saturday. On Wednesday, he returned to surrender his work badge and other property. However, he was also allegedly armed with a handgun. ALSO READ: Sheriff's office employee charged with attempted murder after stabbing co-worker Court records said he went to the second floor of the parking deck, where the rental cars are washed and cleaned. He spoke with two employees, asking them about the location of the man who was responsible for getting him fired. He then followed that statement by lifting up his shirt and displaying a firearm. He allegedly said, 'I got my 40 ready for him.' The man, however, was not there, so no one was hurt. But Williams was arrested and charged with bringing a firearm onto city property. Channel 9's Glenn Counts spoke with a retired TSA agent about this incident. He said it was impossible to truly know Williams' intentions. 'I don't think everybody necessarily understands all the concepts, rules, prohibited items, and laws, even employees,' said the agent. Prior to this incident, Williams had a clean record. Passenger Dr. Gail Griffin said the stress of the economy could have been a contributing factor. 'Sometimes when we're not emotionally balanced, we make rash, quick decisions. And I think that's what happened in this situation,' Griffin explained. Williams was released from jail after posting his $2,500 bail Friday night, according to court records.

Police said responding officers found Mike Malanda 'unresponsive' in the roadway, as well as 'a damaged dirt bike and a damaged Ford truck.' They added that 'the preliminary investigation indicates that Malanda was riding a dirt bike on the road when he was struck by the Ford truck.' Malanda was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. An investigation into the crash is ongoing. Malanda's friends and family say the boy was riding to a nearby gas station to get fuel for his dirt bike when the crash occurred, according to The Charlotte Observer. They said the boy did this routinely on Sundays for years. 'He just went out to get a little bit of gas so he could be able to go do something that he loved,' said his aunt, Laure Makiona. 'Never did we think we wouldn't get to see him anymore.' The child's father, also named Mike Malanda, said of his son, nicknamed 'Mikey,' had 'dreamed' of having a motorcycle since he was 2 years old and 'loved riding his bicycle and doing tricks.' Malanda was a rising 7th grade student at Lake Norman Charter School in Huntersville, according to a Facebook post shared by the school. 'Affectionately known as 'Big Mike' he will be remembered by his classmates, friends and teachers for his larger than life personality, playful nature and kind soul,' school officials said. 'The LNC community joins Mike's family in grieving this profound loss.' Counseling has been made available at the school in wake of the tragedy, they added. Malanda was planning to join his school's lacrosse team in the fall, according to the Observer. Teachers told the outlet that Malanda had an 'infectious' laugh and had a big heart. Principal Nick Carlascio described him as a 'perfect mentor' while working with his sixth grade class's kindergarten buddies. 'Looking back, I noticed that he was hugging somebody in every single picture I have of him,' said Emily Kessler, Mikey's kindergarten teacher.
