MESA, AZ - A man was arrested Tuesay after reportedly throwing oranges at planes at Falcon Field airport in Mesa, according to police.

After a complaint about the oranges was called in to police, Brian Henio, 33, was found sitting in an orange grove by the airport apparently drinking out of a green jug, said Mike Melendez with the Mesa Police Department.

Police said they could smell spray paint and saw paint on Henio's upper lip. He reportedly admitted to being under the influence of spray paint and to throwing the oranges.

Henio was arrested on suspicion of possession of a vapor releasing substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and trespassing.

The man was mostly unresponsive to police, Melendez said. He had trouble answering questions, was shaky and refused to put his hands on his head when being placed under arrest. He also resisted handcuffs until being wrestled to the ground, Melendez said.

He’s probably permanently brain-damaged.

Reverse cargo-cult.

I wonder if he hit one. The Diamondbacks might could use him.

He must have quite an arm!

OTOH, there are airports where this would be very easy to do:

I saw an episode of Cops once, or something like it. There were these two brothers who were huff heads. They didn't have a wit left between them! It was actually sad to see how much they had destroyed their brains...

So that purported missile launch off Southern California was really just a well-heaved orange?

[a fool in paradise]

Yes.

[Tax Government]

Not to be confused with genio.

In response and to avoid any possible similar incidents the TSA will probably place Gallagher on the No Fly List.

“... then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll ... uh ... throw your plane down!”

Apparently guys named Heino like to get hammered.
