Two runways at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport were closed for fifteen minutes.
A woman is charged after police say she breached a security fence around Bush Airport and made it onto a runway Tuesday night.
Airport officials said 22-year-old Ivori H. Howard was spotted at about 8:30 p.m. near runway 15L – causing it to shut down immediately.
Dispatchers described the events to the Houston Police Department as the woman walked around a secured area at the airport.
“Security breach, I guess, I’m not really sure. It says female on the runway in a brown tank top, blue jeans. Runway RW 15R,” the dispatcher said.
About 15 minutes later, Howard was reportedly taken into custody, and the runway was back open.
