Peter Friesema was arrested early Sunday by police at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
Airport manager John Parrott says Friesema was jailed at the Anchorage Correctional Complex with bail set at $5,000.
The evacuation happened early Sunday a little after midnight. The terminal was reopened about three hours later after it became clear there was no threat.
