Lionel Richie’s son was also accused of hitting a security guard.

Miles 'Milo' Brockman, 24, was cautioned by police after making a threat to airport security staff in London's airport at Terminal Five. The star claimed he had a bomb in a bag which would be detonated on a plane if he was not allowed on board.

Richie, who is a model, also allegedly hit a security guard in the same incident. According to Scotland Yard officers, a man accepted a caution for communicating false information causing a bomb hoax and battery, however, the man was not confirmed as Richie.

Witnesses shared that the model became irritable after being denied onto a flight. After making his bomb threat, Richie punched one of the members of staff before being detained by police.

Law enforcement sources said he’s since been released with a caution. According to askthepolice.co.uk, a caution is a formal warning given to someone who has admitted they are guilty of a minor crime.

“On Saturday, 19 January, a 24-year-old man accepted a caution for communicating false information causing a bomb hoax and battery following an incident at Heathrow Terminal 5 earlier that morning.”
