Judge Keeps Abdulrahman Oriyomi's Bond at $15,000 After IAH Boarding-Pass Breach

Summary
$15,000 bond was left unchanged Monday for 25-year-old Abdulrahman Oriyomi, who must wear an ankle monitor and remain in Harris County and nearby counties.
Court records say Oriyomi passed through TSA at Houston's Bush airport on May 18, boarded a United flight to Los Angeles, hid in a restroom while the plane taxied and gave a flight attendant a fake name.
The incident delayed the flight about three hours, and prosecutors charged him with impairing or interrupting the operation of a critical infrastructure facility after arresting him last week.
His lawyer said Oriyomi believed he had bought a cheap ticket rather than a fake one, while TSA said he presented a valid boarding pass at IAH, contradicting local authorities' account.
