"Donald Hump" Arrested in Nevada

WEIRD NEWS: "Donald Hump" Arrested in Nevada

Federal agents have arrested a Nevada man who threatened to blow up McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas and kill people, all because Frontier Airlines made him pay a fee to check his luggage.

A Frontier ticket agent says she charged the man $55 to check his suitcase and he quickly "blew up" and used "vulgar" language. The very next day, Frontier Airlines received threatening phone calls from someone identifying himself as "Donald Hump" and specifically complained about the checked bag fee. He then allegedly spouted off racial slurs, threatened to kill people in Las Vegas, and said he would blow up an airplane. He also said he would come down to the customer service call center, which is actually in the Philippines, and kill everyone there, too.

Federal investigators arrested "Donald Hump," who is really 52-year-old Andrew Greco. He admitted that he was angry about the charge and wanted to scare them into giving him his money back. More here: (KTNV-TV

Scott's Thoughts:

  • He should have known before he left the house that he'd be charged to check his bag. 
  • He's going to complain about $55 to check a bag? The Frontier flight itself probably only cost him $20.
  • These baggage fees cause problems. Should airlines get rid of them?
