"Late Passenger Pleads to Airport Threat"
The Associated Press
ARTICLE SNIPPT: "A Florida college student pleaded guilty to calling in a phony bomb threat to the Long Beach Airport after he arrived too late to board his plane.
In his plea deal, Yechezkel Wells admitted he made the call to try to keep the plane from leaving. He told investigators he was upset that he wasn't allowed to board the plane and hoped the threat would cause a delay so he might have a chance to get on, authorities said.
Wells was arrested Aug. 26 shortly after he called 911 from a pay phone and said there was a bomb on a JetBlue flight to Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The 21-year-old, who holds dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship, pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court to a felony count of conveying false information of a threat targeting an airplane.
He faces from probation to five years in prison at sentencing Jan. 29."
