( CNN ) -- Authorities have charged a teenage boy who said he planned to hijack a commercial jetliner in an attempt to commit suicide , an FBI spokesman told CNN late Thursday . The 16-year-old was taken into custody by airport police without incident on Tuesday evening after flying from Los Angeles , California , to Nashville , Tennessee , on Southwest Airlines Flight 284 . `` His stated intent was to hijack the airplane and commit suicide , '' said George Bolds , an FBI spokesman in Memphis , Tennessee . `` He did indicate he intended to die in Louisiana . It appears he had a ticket to Louisiana . '' Bolds said the boy indicated he had lived in Louisiana . The teen wanted to crash the plane into a Hannah Montana concert in Lafayette , Louisiana , two CNN television affiliates in Nashville , WSMV and WTVF , reported , citing unnamed sources . The concert is scheduled for Friday night at the Lafayette Cajundome . Bolds said he had no information on whether the concert may have been targeted as part of the plot . In the teen 's possession were handcuffs , duct tape and a type of rope or yarn , according to the FBI . Authorities noted that those are not prohibited items . `` His plan contemplated overpowering the flight crew , '' Bolds said . The teen is being held on unspecified state charges and could face federal charges as well , Bolds said . CNN affiliate WTVF reported the teen has been charged with felony terrorism and is being held at the Davidson County juvenile detention center . `` It is my understanding that at no point in time during the course of the flight there was ever any safety concern , '' Southwest Airlines spokesman Chris Mainz said . Bolds also said nothing threatening occurred on the flight from California to Nashville . It was not immediately clear how police became aware of the teen 's presence on the flight or his alleged suicide plans . `` Hannah Montana '' is a hit Disney Channel show -- which stars 15-year-old Miley Cyrus and her country singer dad , Billy Ray Cyrus -- about a teenage girl who is a typical high-schooler by day but has a secret pop-star alter ego by night .
