An issue with a Delta Air Lines boarding pass at Salt Lake City International Airport has sparked an FBI investigation over what ultimately became a security breach . The incident happened Sunday when authorities discovered Wicliff Fleurizard, 26, or George, Texas, was able to successfully board the plane despite his boarding pass being for a different flight. And a different airline.
According to a criminal complaint filed in the case, Fleurizard was removed from Flight 1683, which was bound for Austin when it was discovered that he had a boarding pass for a Southwest Airlines flight. Fleurizard claimed he was returning from a snowboarding trip in Park City and needed to get home urgently to meet family members arriving from Florida. Investigators reported in the complaint that Fleurizard used a "buddy pass" from Southwest Airlines to clear security. But when he arrived at his gate, he found the Southwest flight had been fully-booked. He was observed on security footage snapping photos of other passengers' boarding passes, the complaint alleges, and Fleurizard used one to gain access to the Delta flight. Once on board, he attempted to hide in the lavatories before being discovered by flight attendants when no seats remained
