THREAT: Lionel Richie’s son Miles THREAT: Lionel Richie’s son Miles
Lionel Richie’s son was arrested for a bomb hoax in Britain.
Miles Brockman Richie, also known as Miles Richie, made a bomb threat during an altercation with officials at London’s Heathrow Airport on 19 January.
According to tmz.com, the model, 24, was trying to get on a flight, but he was denied, for an unspecified reason. He reportedly became angry and threatened to detonate a bomb which he claimed he had in his bag if he was not allowed to get on the plane.
When security showed up, Miles allegedly punched one of the guards.
Police arrived, detained him and issued him a caution, a formal warning given to someone who has admitted guilt of a minor crime.
He was not booked or charged and doesn’t need to appear in court. But the caution goes on their permanent criminal record.
Miles accepted the caution from police and has since been released. It is unclear if he was eventually let on the plane he originally intended to board or if he had to book another flight.
Lionel Richie has not released a statement regarding his son.
