PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Friends say the man charged with breaching security at Newark Liberty International Airport is a romantic who just wanted to see his girlfriend off properly.
Speaking outside Haisong Jiang’s home near the Rutgers University campus in Piscataway on Saturday, Ning Huang said he has known the 28-year-old for several years. Huang said Jiang is “a very good person” who didn’t realize the ramifications of his actions last Sunday.
Jiang, who is Chinese, is a doctoral student in a joint molecular biosciences program at Rutgers and has been in the U.S. since 2004. He faces a defiant trespassing charge and a fine of up to $500, and he is set to be arraigned this week.
