"Detectives have not ruled out the possibility of this being a medical emergency and at the same time we are not ruling out the possibility of him being impaired from either drugs or alcohol, but we are looking into everything right now," said Rutland.

Airport workers said the car never made it onto the tarmac and no flights were interrupted.
