Man able to board airplane despite arrest warrant
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A man wanted by Idaho authorities in an attack that left a church pastor seriously wounded was able to board a commercial airliner in Boise, Idaho, and travel to Washington, D.C., this week despite an attempted murder warrant for his arrest.
Kyle Odom drove from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to the airport in Boise after the shooting and departed Monday morning, according to the Transportation Security Administration.
The agency said it was not informed of law enforcement's interest in Odom until Monday evening.

Odom, 30, was arrested while allegedly throwing items onto the lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday evening.
