ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – Austin Straubel Airport operations were disrupted for about a half an hour after a woman indicated that she had a bomb in her backpack Saturday evening, just before 5 p.m.
A woman who said she had a bomb inside Austin Straubel Airport Saturday was charged a felony of making a bomb scare.
47-year-old Rebecca Lockwood was arrested after police were called to the airport on a complaint of a woman yelling at cars in the parking lot.
According to the complaint, Lockwood refused the officers request to look in her back and started yelling “I have a bomb in my bag” while walking towards the terminal.
No explosive device was found.
“It does appear she was possibly suffering from some mental/emotional health issues as well,” officials said.
Regular airport operations were only disrupted for about a half an hour, according to the sheriff’s office.
