A dispute over snacks, not security, is what brought police onto a Breeze Airways flight in Florida on Tuesday night. The almost full flight left New York's Westchester County Airport around 8:30pm and landed in Vero Beach just before 11pm, where the captain told passengers to stay seated due to a "security issue"; officers then boarded the plane, video shows, per News 12.

Police later clarified it wasn't a security breach. Investigators said a male passenger took an item from the airline's snack cart after being told he couldn't; he later paid for it, according to Vero Beach police. The man was detained and questioned after landing but not arrested. He instead received a trespass warning from Vero Beach Regional Airport.
