Police on Saturday identified the woman who was arrested at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and prompted officials to close part of a concourse on Friday as 53-year-old Hope L. Webber.

Phoenix police responded to Terminal 4 at around 5 p.m. Friday after receiving reports that Webber was not allowed to board an airplane and "became angry," spokesperson Sgt. Mercedes Fortune said.

Webber made statements to airline personnel that prompted Phoenix Bomb Squad to respond, though it is unclear what those statements were. The airplane was deboarded and a section of the concourse was closed off for a short time, Fortune said.

Officials determined the area was safe and airport operations resumed in the terminal "a short time later," Fortune said.

Webber was booked for false emergency reporting, a class 1 misdemeanor, and making a false terrorism report, a class 3 felony.

An investigation is ongoing.
