A Wyoming man has been arrested after viral video showed him stealing an airport golf cart and taking it for a joyride down a moving walkway.
Police say Kevin Sinning, 29, was visibly intoxicated when he allegedly got into a cart at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport in New York just before 1am on Monday, reported WKBW.
Video shared on social media appeared to show Sinning at the wheel of the white golf cart which was left unattended with the keys still in it.
The six-seater cart created a trail of damage as Sinning drove it down the moving walkway.
Another video showed Sinning riding the cart down one side of the walkway then turning around at the end of the terminal and driving up the other side.
A group of airport employees shouted at the man to stop as he continued to drive the cart through the airport.
'My thoughts were, did he breach security? Did he get in somewhere that he shouldn't have got into, you know, what was his intentions from the get go? Was he armed?' witness Tom Brennon told WGRZ.
'So I think that's why a lot of people took a safe step back just to, you know, let everything play out until Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) police arrived.'

The footage showed the shattered glass from the railing and destroyed pieces of metal left behind.
'I could tell something wasn't right with him. He was not responding to demands from the people telling him to stop and they had it all. He was totally disregarding the people around him,' Brennon said.
Sinning was arrested and charged with criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, possession of stolen property, criminal nuisance and grand larceny.
Social media commenters were shocked by how calm Sinning appeared in the viral video.
'Why is he so unbothered, like I would expect some sort of reaction even if it was small,' one person said.
'Casually causing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage,' said another.
'He thought he was playing Mario carts in real life,' a third person said. 'He’s so nonchalant about it too,' added a fourth.
'I think the most alarming thing for me is that there is absolutely no appearance of second guessing or hesitation for the entire duration,' fifth person said.

Others speculated about his motivation for driving the cart down the walkway and wondered why he made that decision.
'I guess someone just got fired or wanted to get fired,' one person said. 'That’s a very expensive intrusive thought,' said a second.
A third person said, 'I admit that's an inventive way to wreck both a people mover and a golf cart at the same time.
'What made him even think to do that,' added a fourth.
