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.
