Delta passenger steals tug, crashes it and takes American lavatory truck at gate
On Tuesday, October 6 a Delta passenger stole an Alaska tug, drove it near Gate 7, hit another vehicle and then stole an American lavatory truck.
The passenger was arrested on vehicle‑theft, trespassing and vandalism charges and taken to a hospital for evaluation; flights were briefly paused and the Gate 7 area was closed for about ten minutes before crews cleared the route of debris and normal movement resumed, and Delta said it is cooperating with law enforcement and has zero tolerance for unlawful behavior.
