Welcome to Arrest Stories. A forty nine year old man was arrested at Miami International Airport after allegedly making bomb threats when told he had to check his carry-on luggage. Here's what may have happened.
On Wednesday at Gate D sixty through E, Eulalio Felipe Orama was preparing to board Flight three thousand nine hundred sixty three bound for Houston when airline gate agents informed him he would need to check his carry-on bag due to limited overhead space on the aircraft.
According to police reports, Orama became visibly upset about being required to check his luggage. While gate agents proceeded with standard security questions, Orama allegedly told an agent he had a bomb inside his bag. Another gate agent reported hearing Orama say "A bomb doesn't fit inside the bag."
The incident escalated quickly as security protocols were immediately activated following his comments. All passengers aboard the Houston-bound flight were required to deplane while authorities responded to the potential threat.
Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office K-nine units were deployed to search both the gate area and the aircraft itself. The comprehensive security sweep was conducted to ensure passenger safety before any resumption of normal operations.
Orama was taken into custody by law enforcement at the airport and subsequently booked into jail. According to reports, he later claimed the bomb reference was a misunderstood joke made in response to his frustration over the luggage situation.
The flight delay affected all passengers who had already boarded the aircraft, forcing them to wait while security teams completed their thorough investigation of the area. Gate agents confirmed that Orama appeared genuinely upset about having to check his bag when the alleged threats were made.
The incident highlights how seriously aviation authorities treat any mention of explosives or threats at airports, regardless of the speaker's claimed intent. Security measures require immediate response to such statements to ensure passenger and facility safety.
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
