Airport worker arrested for terrorist threats

A man who works security at the Sioux Falls Regional Airport was arrested on Thursday for threatening to shoot employees at the airport.

Connor Raysby Park, 22, was charged with making a terrorist threat, police spokesman Sam Clemens said. Park is employed by a private security company that is contracted by the Transportation Security Administration at the airport.

On Friday afternoon, Judge Sara Pokela set Park's bond at $50,000 cash-surety, with the conditions that he not have any contact with the airport or its employees. He is also not allowed to have contact with any weapons.

"In light of the current climate in our country ... a high bond is appropriate," Pokela said.
