Southwest Flight Delayed At SMF Due To 'Non-Credible' Threat

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - A non-credible threat has nonetheless forced passengers onboard a Southwest Airlines flight at Sacramento International Airport to deplane.

An airport official says a threat was made against flight 214 Friday morning. The flight was scheduled to fly to Los Angeles at 10:05 a.m.

The threat was made right after passengers boarded the plane, the official says.

Passengers and bags were removed from the plane and Sacramento County sheriff's deputies are at the scene going through luggage as a precaution.

As soon as the sweep is done the flight will be allowed to leave.

TV personality Jillian Barberie was apparently one of the passengers onboard the flight.
