TEXARKANA, AR (2-minute read) — Authorities arrested an armed teenager at Texarkana Regional Airport early Tuesday morning after he attempted to gain access to an aircraft. The situation unfolded around 7:30 a.m. when the teen, carrying both a rifle and a handgun, approached Signature Aviation and demanded a plane.

The suspect then moved toward the airfield, where private planes are housed. A private business pilot noticed the teen and quickly intervened. Drawing his own legally owned firearm, the pilot ordered the teen to surrender. The suspect complied, was disarmed, and remained detained until law enforcement arrived.

Texarkana Arkansas Police took the teen into custody without incident. He now faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault, attempted aggravated robbery, and first-degree terroristic threatening. Officials transferred him to a juvenile detention center. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Authorities have not yet determined why the teenager sought access to an aircraft. The incident highlights the importance of vigilance and preparedness in public spaces, particularly in sensitive locations like airports.

Safety Tip: Situational awareness is key to staying safe in any environment. Always be mindful of your surroundings, identify potential threats, and have a plan in case of an emergency.
