A man was arrested in Salt Lake City on Sunday after boarding a Delta Air Lines flight without his own ticket. He got on the plane by using a photo of another passenger's boarding pass, prosecutors say.

Wicliff Yves Fleurizard, a 26-year-old from Texas, is facing one felony charge of stowaways on vessels or aircraft, according to a complaint filed in US District Court in Utah on Monday. If found guilty, Fleurizard could be fined and imprisoned for up to five years, according to US sentencing guidelines.
