Man Breaches Security at Las Vegas Airport, Attempts to Board Private Plane

Authorities have reported an unusual breach of security at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. On Sunday, December 8, Hector Posado-Mendoza allegedly forced his way through a secure area at an aviation business and attempted to board a private plane.

According to police, the incident occurred around 7:20 a.m. when Posado-Mendoza entered the business, which serves private pilots and their passengers, and began exhibiting “very strange” behavior. Within minutes, he reportedly damaged a badge reader, broke through secure doors, and made his way onto the tarmac.

Once outside, Posado-Mendoza climbed the steps of a private plane and sat down before being apprehended. The incident took place near Flamingo Road, away from the airport’s main commercial terminals.

Paramedics transported Posado-Mendoza to a hospital following the incident. He was later booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of violating airport rules and trespassing.

Records indicate that Posado-Mendoza was released without having to pay bail and before a probable cause hearing.

The breach has raised concerns about security at the airport’s private aviation areas, which cater to high-profile clients and private pilots.
