A man who caused an hour-long shutdown at Phoenix airport by abandoning a rental car in a no parking area is fined only $52.
A man who caused a terminal shutdown at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport after abandoning a rental car in a no-parking area will not be facing charges.
Phoenix police say the unidentified 29-year-old man was issued a civil parking ticket for “prohibited parking per sign or red curb.”
The man was fined $52 and ordered to pay a $75 towing fee.
“No other charges are being sought at this time,” Phoenix police said.
The driver and his female passenger left the rented vehicle in a restricted area of Terminal 4’s second level.
Levels one, two and three were evacuated as a precaution.
The incident resulted in 300 delayed flights and dozens of cancellations as the bomb squad was called in.
