A Florida man who crashed his car through an airport gate and tried to board multiple planes told federal authorities he wanted to steal a plane to visit his sister, the Independent reports. 58 year old Brian J. Parker was arrested at Daytona Beach International Airport on Wednesday after he allegedly drove his Ford Mustang through a secure, federally regulated gate. Authorities said he was under the influence of “all types of drugs” during the incident.According to federal investigators, Parker later told authorities that he was trying to board a plane so he could fly to see his sister. This claim was made during his interrogation after his arrest and is part of the case against him.The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said Parker breached airport security shortly after arriving at the facility. After hitting the gate, he attempted to reach several aircraft on the tarmac. Law enforcement officials intervened before he could reach or board any aircraft.Body camera footage released by authorities shows Parker admitting that he had consumed a large amount of alcohol and drugs before the incident. When officers took him into custody they described him as disoriented and unstable.Investigators said the breach raised serious security concerns, because the gate through which Parker passed is part of a restricted area at the airport. Due to the nature of the incident and the potential threat to aviation safety, federal agencies joined the investigation.Parker has been charged with multiple crimes, including trespassing in a secure airport area and criminal mischief. Additional federal charges may be brought as the investigation continues.Officials said no injuries were reported during the incident and there was no significant disruption to airport operations.Authorities have not released further details about Parker’s background or his relationship with his sister.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Florida man who crashed his car through an airport gate and tried to board multiple planes told federal authorities he wanted to steal a plane to visit his sister, the Independent reports. 58 year old Brian J.
