Man Arrested For Making Fake Bomb Threat At Logan

BOSTON (AP) – A Massachusetts man has been arrested after allegedly claiming to have a bomb in his car as it was undergoing routine security screening at a Logan International Airport parking garage.

State police said 51-year-old Nicolas Cauchy of Cambridge was charged with making a false bomb threat and disorderly conduct.

Police said Cauchy's 2001 Dodge Dakota was being screened as he prepared to park it in the Terminal B garage on Friday afternoon when he told the attendants he had a bomb in the trunk.

A state police bomb squad checked the vehicle and determined it was a hoax.

Cauchy was in custody and could not immediately be reached for comment.
