Delvonte Tisdale, 16, left his Charlotte home sometime on Nov. 14, 2010. A day later, his body was found in a Boston suburb. It was so damaged that authorities couldn’t identify the victim and an autopsy couldn’t determine the cause of death. A scribbled hall pass with Tisdale’s name on it provided investigators with their only clue to the teenager’s identity.
Authorities determined that the North Mecklenburg High School sophomore likely sneaked onto the tarmac of the Charlotte airport and climbed into the wheel well of US Airways Flight 1176, bound for Boston.
Tisdale’s security breach raised questions about the airport’s security. It led to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police report that called the airport’s police force inadequate to monitor the nation’s 11th-busiest airport.
The lawsuit, filed by Tisdale’s family in November 2012, said the defendants should have done more to prevent Tisdale from getting onto the tarmac and into the plane’s wheel well. It sought damages in excess of $10,000.
Tisdale was involved in his school’s Air Force ROTC program. He was well-liked in his school and community and was characterized as “a well-behaved child who had a good life,” according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleged that the defendants negligently failed to ensure that children like Tisdale could not gain access to restricted areas, including the tarmac and airplanes.
The defendants failed to warn Tisdale of the dangers associated with “boarding a plane as a passenger in the wheel well of an airplane,” the lawsuit alleged.
The Superior Court Judge Hugh Lewis ruled later that the city and airport were NOT negligent because, in part, they are not responsible for the care of people who breach security.
