According to an arrest report obtained Monday by Local 10 News, Luis Gonzalez-Madan, 34, of Boca Raton, was arrested early Friday morning on a felony charge of violating a designated operational area of an airport.
The arrest report from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office states that a deputy was dispatched to the area of 5600 NW 36th St. just after 3:15 a.m. Friday after a witness spotted Gonzalez-Madan jumping a fence at the airport, entering a cargo area.
