Sergei Berejnoi of Sandy, Utah, allegedly became upset Oct. 31 when he arrived for his Skywest flight from DIA to Salt Lake City.
After being advised by the agent that the flight had left, Berejnoi told the agent there was a bomb in his luggage. The plane was immediately stopped and held up for an hour while the cargo hold was searched.
