On March 25, 2026, police arrested 58-year-old Bryan Parker at Daytona Beach International Airport after he allegedly crashed his vehicle through a gate and onto the airfield. Witnesses reported Parker nearly hit a taxiing airplane before approaching an occupied plane and attempting to gain entry. When he found the aircraft locked, he briefly entered two unoccupied planes.
Airport staff and security intervened, and Parker was detained multiple times. Body camera footage revealed Parker admitting to officers that he was under the influence of alcohol and drugs, which he claimed made him unable to recall the incident. He was charged with aircraft piracy, driving under the influence, criminal mischief, and burglary, among other offenses.
Parker is being held without bond in the Volusia County Jail following the bizarre events. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office responded to the incident that unfolded on Wednesday afternoon.
