Mom: NY LaGuardia bomb scare suspect mentally ill
2009-08-03
NEW YORK - The mother of the homeless man arrested on charges of causing a bomb scare at LaGuardia Airport says her son has a psychiatric disorder. Margie Jones tells the New York Daily News in Monday's editions that her son, 32-year-old Scott McGann, suffers from catatonic schizophrenia. Jones lives north of San Francisco in Willits, Calif. She tells the paper she's a school psychologist. McGann is accused of carrying a phony bomb into LaGuardia on Saturday. The scare shut down the airport for several hours and prompted an evacuation. McGann was arrested on charges including placing a false bomb in a transportation facility and making a terrorist threat. He is to undergo a psychiatric evaluation before his scheduled court appearance on Thursday.
