A 55-year-old woman from the Dominican Republic was arrested at Miami International Airport after making a bomb joke before her flight on March 23. This incident follows a similar case involving a 66-year-old man who was also detained for making a bomb joke at the same airport.
According to reports by 7News, Carmen Rosa Solislerqux, identified as a swimming instructor from Santo Domingo, told an airport employee that she had a bomb in her bag. The arrest report indicates that she was taken into custody around 7:30 pm after the employee alerted authorities. Solislerqux reportedly claimed she was "only joking" when informed about the seriousness of such statements at an airport. K-9 units searched her bags and found no explosives. She was subsequently arrested and transported to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
Solislerqux's arrest occurred shortly after midnight on Monday morning, but it remains unclear if she is still in custody. Under Florida law, making a false bomb threat is classified as a second-degree felony.
