Denver police have filed criminal charges against a Frontier Airlines mechanic for what they call a "bias motivated crime."

Police on Monday ticketed Juan Sequeira, 43, citing him for allegedly showing a black co-worker a noose, a symbol of segregation-era lynchings.

The alleged incident occurred April 15 in a break room on Frontier Airlines' "A" concourse at DIA. Sequeira allegedly approached a black co-worker, Kristan Jackson, showed him the noose and asked, "Are you ready?"
