MOORHEAD, Minn. (KFGO) – A woman was turned over to family members after she drove on the runway of the Moorhead Municipal Airport.
Police Capt. Deric Swenson said law enforcement responded to a disturbance call late Tues. afternoon. The police report said the woman drove toward an officer on the runway, but it wasn’t believed that she did it intentionally.
Swenson said the woman, who was experiencing a mental health problem, told an officer that she got off I-94, turned onto airport property and began driving down the runway. She thought that someone was following her on the interstate.
FAA Air Traffic Control in Fargo was notified that a car was on the runway. Take-offs and landings from Moorhead were temporarily delayed.
