Analysis:
The Rockets center was not charged with any crime and was allowed to board a later flight after everything was worked out. Given that this is a fairly common occurrence in Texas airports and that Howard wasn't charged, don't expect the NBA to deal out any suspensions for this mishap. Howard will still be facing a one-game suspension from his flagrant fouls in the postseason that will keep him out of the lineup for the season opener.
