ATLANTA (WTXL) - A man arrested for running around an Atlanta airport tarmac wearing just in underwear appeared in court.

Jhryin Jones, 19, is charged with criminal trespassing, obstruction of law enforcement officers and public indecency.

Police took him into custody on the tarmac at Atlanta's airport.

He had stripped down to his underwear and ran toward a plane that just landed.

Shocked passengers shot video of him as he appeared to talk to himself and pace around.

He reportedly also jumped on the airplane's wings and pounded on windows.

The incident raised security concerns because he apparently scaled a fence from outside the airport to gain access to the area.
