A joke about a bomb at Miami International Airport ended with a man behind bars Monday, police said.

Edgar Fabian Navarrete, 43, was arrested for making a bomb threat at the airport, Miami-Dade Police said. It was unknown whether he has an attorney.

Navarrete left the airport while his friend was detained and questioned and told officers where they could find Navarrete, police said.


Police went to Navarrete's house and placed him under arrest.
