A 29-year-old man from Cheyenne, Wyoming, Kevin Sinning, was arrested on Monday (July 28) after taking a motorized golf cart for a joyride inside the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Sinning, who was visibly intoxicated, drove the cart onto a moving walkway, causing significant damage to both the vehicle and the airport property.

The incident occurred just before 1 a.m.

Sinning found the cart unattended with the keys still in it and decided to take it for a spin. Videos of the event, shared widely on social media, show Sinning calmly driving the cart down one side of the walkway, turning around, and then driving back up the other side. Despite airport employees shouting at him to stop, he continued his ride until police arrived.

Witnesses expressed concern over the potential security breach and the damage caused by the joyride.

"Was he armed?" bystander Tom Brennan wondered in an interview with WGRZ. "I think that's why a lot of people took a safe step back and wait for the police to take over."

Sinning was arrested and charged with several offenses, including second-degree criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, criminal possession of stolen property, criminal nuisance, and third-degree grand larceny.
