LAS VEGAS - An intoxicated 28-year-old man apparently broke into a secure area near McCarran International Airport and stole a luggage cart tug car before being arrested early Tuesday.
Joshua Scheuerman is accused by police of breaching two perimiter fences at the Quail Air Center around 4 a.m.
He allegedly stole the tug car and began to drive it on airport property.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the tug damaged the right wing of a G-4 Gulfstream business jet.
Police said he also damaged a fence before rolling the tug into a ditch. He ran and was stopped by Department of Aviation officers.
Scheuerman was booked on charges of grand larceny, malicious destruction of private property, hit and run property damage, and trespassing.
