Georgia police say a pilot has been arrested and charged with trying to strike officers with his plane at the Griffin-Spalding Airport.
The airport was shut down for 45 minutes after the incident Wednesday.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that 48-year-old Dan Wayne Gryder is being held in the Spalding County jail charged with two counts of aggravated assault and one count of obstruction.
Griffin code enforcement officers responded to a report of a pilot disrupting the airport.
Griffin Police Investigator Bryan Clanton said Gryder was driving his car across the runway and taxiway and gave officers a fake name when they approached.
Officers say Gryder refused to sign the citations they attempted to issue and boarded his plane instead.
Sgt. John Hayes said Gryder attempted to fly away but didn't have enough fuel.
