A United Airlines pilot was charged in Adams County, Colorado, after he was spotted swinging an ax at a parking arm at the Denver International Airport.
According to CBS News Colorado, the 63-year-old pilot, Kenneth Henderson Jones, was wielding an ax at the airport's employee parking lot on August 2.
The television station also obtained video footage of the incident. In the video, Jones could be seen swinging his ax multiple times at the parking arm until it broke.
Jones was later subdued by airport employees, who managed to wrestle the ax away from him. The pilot was then seen being handcuffed and escorted away by police officers. CBS News Colorado said Jones was later released from police custody and drove away.
Jones told the police that he "just hit his breaking point" after seeing multiple vehicles being held up in line at the parking lot exits, per CBS. He also told Adam County Sheriff's deputies that he "was trying to get rid of issues for everyone waiting."
Jones did not respond to CBS News Colorado's request for comment.
A representative for United Airlines told Insider that Jones has been "removed from the schedule and is on leave while United conducts an internal investigation."
CBS News Colorado reported that Jones has been charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief and will be arraigned in court on September 25.

Most popular tourist destinations try to increase the number of visitors every year. But that’s not the case on the glamorous Spanish island of Mallorca. Faced with the prospect of losing their paradise to the growing swell of tourism, local activists have taken an innovative approach to keep its azure waters less crowded—fake warning signs posted on some of Mallorca’s most popular beaches. Seemingly ordinary to passersby, these signs bear disturbing messages in English such as “dangerous jellyfish” or “falling rocks.” While tourists are led to believe they face physical dangers, the messages actually make with bold statements such as: “the problem isn’t a rockfall, it’s mass tourism,” or the satirical note that the beach is “open—except for foreigners and jellyfish.”
