Key Takeaways:

A 26-year-old man was arrested at Orlando International Airport on Tuesday night after a standoff with police in the rental car area. According to reports, Michael Wayne Pettigrew was carrying a “simulated gun” under his black jacket, and he asked a female Mears driver to call 911 “to bring the police,” and because he also wanted to speak to the president. Ultimately, Orlando police officers fired no shots and no one was injured as Pettigrew was taken into custody.
