According toTMZ, eyewitnesses alleged Miles, 24, was angry after not being allowed on a flight and claimed that he had a bomb in his bag that he would detonate if he was not allowed to board. After security showed up, he allegedly got into an altercation, punching one of the guards before police arrived and detained him.
A rep for Lionel, 69, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

“On Saturday, 19 January, a 24-year-old man accepted a caution for communicating false information causing a bomb hoax and battery following an incident at Heathrow Terminal 5 earlier that morning,” the Metropolitan Police told PEOPLE in a statement, declining to identify Richie as the person involved in the incident.
Under U.K. law, a caution is not a criminal conviction but rather a warning given out for minor crimes, according togov.uk.
TMZ reported that Miles was released after accepting the caution. It is unclear why he initially was not allowed on the flight.
From havingKylie Jenner’s initials tattooed on his hand to his relationship with “god sis” Paris Jackson to his most recent alleged incident, here’s everything to know about Miles.
His mother is Diane Alexander — and he’s a “mama’s boy”
Miles and Sofia’s mother is Diane Alexander, 51, who was featured in Lionel’s music video for his 1986 hit “Dancing on the Ceilingand later would become his second wife. At the time, Lionel was rumored to have begun a relationship with Alexander prior to divorcing his first wife and college sweetheart, Brenda Harvey.
Lionel and Harvey divorced in 1993, and he married Alexander in 1995. Lionel and Alexander’s marriage ended in 2003, but first they had Miles and Sofia, 20. In an interview withEntertainment Tonightfrom the 2018Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Miles described himself as a “mama’s boy.”
He is a model
Sofia walked Plein’s first show in New York City in 2017 and then again at a resort show at Cannes.
In a November 2018 interview withGarage, Miles said he tries to downplay his famous last name because he would rather be known for his work.
“I’d like to not be viewed as a celebrity person or something. I’d like to be known as a model or an actor, not just the ‘son of,’ or the ‘brother of,'” he said. “I’d like to develop my own identity in those scenarios.”
He hasKylie Jenner’s initials tattooed on him
According to TMZ, Jenner, now 21, was with her friends at a Hollywood recording studio, where tattoo artist John Petro came to give Miles some ink. She then wanted to try it, donned gloves and (with Petro’s guidance) left her initials on Richie’s right hand while older sisterKhloé KardashianandFrench Montanareportedly looked on.
A month later, speculation rose that Miles and Jenner might be dating after they werespotted cozying upto each other in Miles’ car in June 2014. The same year, they attended Coachella together with Jenner’s sister,Kendall.

He is close with Paris Jackson
Miles often refers toParis Jackson— who is currentlyseeking treatment for her physical and emotional health— as his “god sis” on social media as her father, the lateMichael Jackson, is Sofia’s godfather.
Most recently, Miles posted a photo to his Instagram account of him posing with Paris, 20, and Moschino designerJeremy Scottat the Moschino x H&M fashion show in October.
“For some reason this is the only man that can bring me and my god sis together,” he captioned the photo.
A month earlier, Miles posted a similar photo with Paris and Scott with the caption, “@itsjeremyscott such an amazing show. Thank you for having me. Family time was much needed with the god sis.”
He is a fan of boxing
In a December interview withOffice Magazine, Miles said he boxes at Rumble Boxing in Los Angeles so that he can get his “energy out.”
“I do Muay Thai and boxing — elbow is my favorite move,” he said. “My favorite boxer would be Anthony Joshua; my favorite personality would be Conor McGregor; my favorite up-and-comer is The Style Bender [Israel Adesanya] — I think he’ll be the next champion of the UFC…He’s so dynamic and fluid — he will definitely be the next champion.”
