We reported earlier on a plane that was threatening to crash into a Walmart in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Now the plane is reportedly on the ground and the man in custody.
The man who took the plane was an airport employee.
Multiple law enforcement, airport and local authorities have identified the subject as Cory Patterson of Shannon.
Patterson is a 2011 Tupelo High School graduate.
A Cory Patterson believed to be the suspect posted on Facebook Saturday morning, “Sorry everyone. Never actually wanted to hurt anyone. I love my parents and sister this isn’t your fault. Goodbye.”
That sounds more like a person who may have been thinking of taking himself out, so it’s good that he appears to be on the ground now.
