CLEVELAND (WJW) – The FOX 8 I-Team has learned a woman has been indicted after police say she drove through six fences at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.

The Cuyahoga County Grand Jury indicted Barraya Baker on a felony charge of vandalism and two misdemeanor counts of endangering children.

On April 29, SkyFOX captured the scene. Cuyahoga County prosecutors say the mother had her kids in her car when she plowed through a series of airport fences. Investigators found she was having some kind of crisis. The children were not injured.

Prosecutors say the fence smashing resulted in $40,000 worth of damage.
