NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A graduate student from China charged with breaching security at New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport is due in court Tuesday.
Haisong Jiang (hy-SOHN' jee-ONG') was arrested Jan. 8, days after entering a restricted area at the airport, where he was seeing his girlfriend off.
Authorities say the Jan. 3 breach caused the shutdown of a busy terminal and snarled flights worldwide.
The 28-year-old Rutgers University doctoral student faces a defiant trespassing charge and a fine of up to $500 when he's arraigned in Newark Municipal Court.
Jiang has declined to speak publicly about the incident. He has retained Washington D.C.-based lawyer Eric Bruce.
