ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say a man who walked through a passenger screening checkpoint and refused to obey security officers at Detroit Metropolitan Airport didn't have a boarding pass or luggage.

The FBI says it's looking into Monday's security breach.

The Transportation Security Administration says the man failed to stop about 7:45 a.m. at the McNamara Terminal. Airport spokesman Mike Conway said the man was arrested by airport police, questioned and held.

Conway says police used a stun gun to subdue him.

Security doors were lowered at the portion of the terminal between the security checkpoint and terminal concourse, and people in that area were evacuated. Security screening resumed about an hour later.

Delta Air Lines Inc. uses the terminal and reported minimal flight delays.
