TYLER – One person has been arrested for making a false alarm at the Tyler airport. Around 2:30 Sunday afternoon, officers working the Wings Over Tyler Airshow were contacted about a suspicious person inside Skyline Café. It’s inside the Old Terminal Building. Officers were told a black male approached the counter and handed a piece of paper to an employee when he made a food order. On the piece of paper were comments that made reference to having a gun and wanting money.
Upon realizing what was written on the piece of paper, the man said a co-worker had given it to him and must be playing a joke on him. No weapon was observed and no money was given to the man. While he was eating, officers approached the man.
The note was located and officers soon contacted Kimberly Denise Clark, 47, of Tyler. Officers determined Clark wrote the note, gave it to the man and asked him to pass it along when he ordered his food. It is not believed the man was aware of the note’s contents when he gave it to the Skyline Café employee with his food order.
Officers arrested Clark for false alarm or report, a class A misdemeanor. She was then transported her to the Smith County Jail.
