Man charged with taking N.Y. airport cart on 'joyride,' wrecking moving walkways
A man was arrested after officials said he took an airport cart and rammed it through the moving walkways at Buffalo Niagara International Airport in New York. Kevin J. Sinning, 29, of Wyoming, was arrested just before 1 a.m. Monday by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority Police Department. He was seen on video getting into an unattended Prime Flight cart and driving it through the moving walkways, breaking and damaging the walkway's glass panels and the vehicle, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority said. Video shared by a witness on Facebook showed someone slowly driving the cart up and down the airport hallways. One shot showed damage on one of the moving walkways after the vehicle drove through — with metal beams lining the bottom of the walkway bent upwards and out of place. Later in the clip, the driver goes down another moving walkway. The cart doesn't fit, but he drives it forward to the sound of crushing metal, leaving shattered glass in his wake. He appeared "visibly intoxicated" when he was arrested by officers at the end of the walkway, officials said. There were no reported injuries. Sinning is accused of second-degree criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, criminal possession of stolen property greater than $3,000 in value, criminal nuisance and third-degree grand larceny.
