Authorities are searching for a woman accused of calling in a bomb threat at a Houston airport to allegedly frame her ex-lover, according to court documents.

Trekalon Price, 25, is being sought for felony reporting a false alarm or reporting an emergency in connection with an incident at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, the charging document obtained by USA TODAY says.

A Houston police officer wrote in the document that an unknown woman, later identified as Price, called in to report a "bomb threat" at the airport on Jan. 4, 2025. While making the report, the caller refused to give any identifying information about herself, the document states.

Price told the 911 operator that the individual allegedly with the bomb had just flown into Bush Intercontinental Airport on a Delta flight, and he would be flying out later that day at an unknown time and on an unknown airline to Cedar Rapids Airport in Iowa, according to the charging document.

During the 911 call, Price also alleged that the individual told her that he was going to bomb Bush Airport and Cedar Rapids Airport, the court document states. Price then told the operator to "hurry up and notify law enforcement," before giving them identifying information about the alleged bomber.

When Houston police contacted authorities in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, they said they received the same call from an unidentified woman, the charging document says. Cedar Rapids Airport Police confirmed that the man identified by Price had already landed, and they were actively searching for him, the document continued.

According to the charging document, Price also spoke to a patrol officer at Cedar Rapids Airport and told him that the alleged bomber had a firearm in his bag, and that she learned the information about this bomb threat from a person she refused to identify.

When police finally spoke with the man Price identified, he told them he was unaware of any accusations, including about him bombing the airports and "shooting up the place," the court document states. Police then asked the man if he knew of anyone who would accuse him of this, to which he responded, "Yeah, the girl he was 'messing around with.'"

The man also said Price got him fired from his last job due to her repeatedly calling the Houston golf cart shop where he worked, according to the court filing. He then identified Price and said he didn't recognize the number she called 911 with, but stated she "likes to use phone apps to make calls with different numbers.Trekalon Price, ex hadn't spoken since end of 2024

When police asked the man the last time he spoke to Price, he said somewhere around the end of 2024, the charging document says. The two dated from April 2024 to around November 2024, the man said, per the court filing.

The man told police that Price may have known that he was flying that day because she and the mother of his children communicate regularly, the court document states. When police replayed the man the 911 call made earlier that day, he said, "100% that's her."

While speaking to the woman the man shares children with, she acknowledged that Price told her she called his job and the airport, according to the charging document. She told police that she did not tell Price about her children's father's travel plans or that he was going to blow up or shoot up any airports, the document continued.

As of May 8, Price is not in custody and is wanted by law enforcement.
