Romulus, MI - Man Tried to Boarding Plane With Knife Hidden in Book
Romulus, MI - A man with a one-way ticket to Yemen attempted to board a plane with a knife hidden in a book.
Mohammed Ghanem, 21, was jailed on $500,000 after being arraigned on a charge of possessing a weapon in the sterile area of an airport.
Ghanem was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after Transportation Security Administration officers detected the knife "artfully concealed'' in the book.
Someone had carved out the inside of the book and placed the knife inside it, said Ghanem's attorney, Nabih Ayad. "He said he didn't know where the knife came from,'' Ayad said.
Ghanem lives in Hamtramck, Michigan, with family members, but he had a one-way ticket to Yemen, authorities said.
If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
