Man arrested after breaching security at Peoria airport

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) - Several weekend flights were delayed or cancelled at Peoria's airport after a man tried to use a stolen vehicle to ram the main terminal and breached security.

The Gen. Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport says in a release the man was taken into custody and to a hospital after the incident early Saturday. The airport was closed for a few hours.

Airport officials say the man used the car to try to ram the building but was unsuccessful. He then forced his way inside and spent several minutes in a secured area before attempting to break into a parked police vehicle.

The man's condition wasn't immediately clear, nor whether he had been charged. The Associated Press couldn't reach Peoria County sheriff's officials Sunday.

Authorities believe the incident was isolated.
