Smiling jilted girlfriend pretended ex was planning to bomb plane in twisted break-up revenge: cops

Roswell Police Department, RPD A local woman has been criminally charged after calling an airline Wednesday morning, April 8, and making what investigators found to be a false report that her ex-boyfriend was going to take a bomb onto an airplane at the Roswell Air Center. Brooke Ayers, 47, was arrested after the Roswell Police Department investigation, assisted by the New Mexico State Police bomb team, determined the ex-boyfriend, who is from Indiana and was in Roswell visiting Ayers, had not made any bomb threats and was not in possession of explosives as he arrived at the air center for a flight on which he was scheduled to depart Wednesday. The investigation found Ayers made the false claim following an argument she had with the 34-year-old man the previous night, resulting in the end of their relationship. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1366525145517528&set=a.298056052364448

A jilted woman has been arrested after she lied that her ex-boyfriend was taking a bomb on a plane in New Mexico — trying to get him in trouble just hours after they broke up, cops said.

Brooke Ayers, 47, was seen grinning in her mugshot after she allegedly dug her nails into an arresting officer while also threatening to stab them, according to officials.

She had allegedly called American Airlines last Wednesday to claim she’d learned her ex would be taking explosives onto his flight out of the Roswell Air Center airport later that day.

The oblivious 34-year-old boyfriend, who had been visiting Ayers from Indiana, ended up being intercepted as law enforcement frantically diverted traffic away from the airport over the fake bomb plot.

He was immediately detained and his rental car was cordoned off as the bomb squad scoured it for traces of explosives.

Eventually, police determined the boyfriend didn’t have any form of bomb on him, and he was cut loose.

“The investigation found Ayers made the false claim following an argument she had with the 34-year-old man the previous night, resulting in the end of their relationship,” Roswell Police said in a statement.

Police, meanwhile, responded to Ayers home but she allegedly became aggressive when officers tried to question her.

“Ayers threatened to get a knife and use it against an officer, so she was placed in handcuffs to transport her to the police department for questioning,” cops said.

“While being handcuffed, Ayers resisted and dug her nails into the arm of one of the officers.”

She was arrested and charged with making a bomb scare, aggravated assault on a peace officer, battery upon a peace officer, and resisting, evading or obstructing an officer.
