Man Arrested After Driving Cart Through Buffalo Airport
ERIE COUNTY, NEW YORK, AUG 1 – Kevin Sinning, 29, caused extensive damage to multiple glass panels while driving a stolen golf cart intoxicated inside Buffalo Niagara International Airport terminal.
- Just before 1 a.m. Monday, Kevin J. Sinning, 29, of Wyoming, drove a golf cart onto the moving walkway at Buffalo Niagara International Airport, causing extensive damage to the glass and the cart before arrest.
- A security lapse left the airport cart accessible, as he found keys inside and swiped it, exploiting the fact that airport carts typically lock or require key removal upon exit.
- Evidence captured bent metal beams and damage to the cart after it cut through the walkway, with the golf cart crashing into glass panels.
- Officers from the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority Police Department took him into custody on charges including criminal mischief and grand larceny, visibly intoxicated at the walkway’s end.
- Authorities typically remain quiet on such unusual events, and despite the now-viral incident, officials declined to comment Friday.
