LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The man accused of breaching airport security at SDF earlier this week was in court Wednesday.

A ground stop was issued for all planes.
Airport staff were able to find Van Bree on a Southwest flight that was currently boarding passengers.
They removed everyone from the aircraft and detained Van Bree.
He was booked and later released after posting a $10,000 cash bond.
