Drunk Wyoming traveler Kevin Sinning steals golf cart, goes on destructive joyride at Buffalo Niagara International Airport: police
A drunk passenger hijacked an unoccupied golf cart and went on a destructive joyride in front of shocked travelers inside New York's Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
Wyoming resident Kevin Sinning is accused of commandeering an electric golf cart and plowing the vehicle onto a moving walkway as he unleashed mayhem inside the terminal just before 1 a.m. on July 28, according to officials.
Sinning, 29, was captured on video breaking the glass paneling while airport workers pleaded for him to stop, according to witness video captured inside the terminal.

He freed the cart from one side of the walkway and then careened towards the end of the two-level terminal.
Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority officials said Sinning was 'visibly intoxicated.'
'I think he's drunk,' one witness said in the video.

He turned around at the end of the concourse, where gates belonging to Delta and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority are located, and he weaved the car around several wet floor signs laid out around the open terminal floor.
The erratic flyer drove towards the other side of the conveyor belt.
'Oh s–t he's going down the other one,' someone shouted.

Sinning forced the cart into the opening and drove down the aisle, causing more destruction.
Airport employees shouted to stop the unphased Sinning, who continued his cruise around the airport terminal.
'You can tell something was not right with him,' witness Tom Brennon told WGRZ. 'He was not responding to demands and the people telling him to stop and they had it all. He was totally disregarding the people around him.'
The cart continuously bounced as it made its way through the narrow walkway due to the tight squeeze.
5 Sinning was charged with criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, criminal possession of stolen property, criminal nuisance and grand larceny.

A haze appeared to fill the building as the cart's left side tires rode the low rail of the machine.
NFTA officials alleged Sinning caused extensive damage to the walkway, glass panels and the cart. Shattered glass and metal panels lay scattered on the walkways following Sinning's drive.
Officials eventually arrested Sinning and charged him with criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, criminal possession of stolen property, criminal nuisance and grand larceny.
Sinning's stunt went viral on social media as one TikTok video was viewed over 9 million times.
'I'm guessing it's going to be a learning experience for everyone involved,' Brennon told the outlet. 'This has got to be the first time it happened at our airport.'

Experts reveal the obvious sign someone is cheating — that most people don't catch: ‘That's a bread crumb worth following'
Turns out, the way to catch a cheater might not be hidden in their texts, tucked in their DMs, or whispered on a late-night phone call. It could be sitting right there on their bank statement. Forget lipstick on the collar — suspicious ATM withdrawals might be the real smoking gun. 'We're basically a cashless society these days, so if your partner has always been about tap-and-go, using a credit card for reward points and suddenly starts doing ATM withdrawals – that's a bread crumb worth following,' private investigator Cassie Crofts explained on TikTok. Why? 'Cash doesn't leave a trail,' Crofts said. 'If they go to a restaurant and spend $200, you can be pretty sure they weren't dining solo. But $200 cash withdrawal? You've got no idea what happened.' Brothel manager Catherine De Noire says the location — and the timing — of those withdrawals can be even more damning. 'The first thing is that a lot of guys don't carry enough cash. So then they go and withdraw money from an ATM, which is usually somewhere near the brothel or inside the brothel,' she said on Instagram, as reported by The Tab. Never mind lipstick on the collar — a shady ATM slip might be the real telltale sign of cheating, experts warn. Prostock-studio – 'This is very suspicious, especially when you see that your partner withdraws a lot of money at 4 am in the morning in this area, and the account is a shared one.' Bottom line: If your joint account suddenly starts hemorrhaging twenties in the wee hours, it might be time for a serious talk. If your shared account's dropping twenties in the dead of night, consider that a blinking red flag. Prostock-studio – And while money might be the most obvious tell, it's not the only household item that can turn snitch. As The Post previously reported, one woman discovered her husband's alleged infidelity thanks to a very unlikely source — their digital scale. In a now-viral Reddit post, a wife using the handle u/throw-Doubt303 claimed she uncovered late-night weigh-ins on their shared scale — while she was out of town and her husband was supposedly home alone. 'I checked the digital scale's memory out of curiosity and it showed two 'unassigned' weigh-ins at exactly 120 lbs, logged at 12:25 a.m. and 12:26 a.m. back-to-back,' she wrote. 'For context, I do not weigh 120 lbs, and I was not there on that date, just my husband.' 'The goal was to work on ourselves to help build a better foundation and we agreed not to see other people,' she added in the comments. Redditors didn't mince words. 'Pro tip — don't tell him you know there was a female there. Get in touch with attorneys to make a game plan,' one advised. 'This is two back-to-back weights. This is pretty simple. He has moved on and is already hooking up with other women. No need to overthink this,' another said. One commenter praised the find: 'This is expert-level sleuthing. Men underestimate our level of intuition. When you confront him, he'll probably try to paint you as crazy or paranoid. You're not.' In other words: if you're looking for clues, don't just follow the money — follow the ounces.
