FLIGHT DIVERTED TO DENVER DUE TO "UNRULY" PASSENGER
UPDATED
In just the first of such events today ....
From Maggie's Notebook:
Passengers took the man down. A traveler in first class grabbed the man's arms. According to witnesses, six or seven people helped subdue the disruptive passenger. He allegedly had several drinks and was seen taking pills. Passenger Ray Holloman described the man and the situation:
...as about 6' 1" and up to 270 pounds with blond hair and wispy facial hair. "He was a large guy and an unkempt guy," he said.
Holloman said the man brought on two carry on bags: a black backpack and a brown bag.
He carried the brown bag with him to the front of the plane.
After the man was subdued, passengers and flight attendants started questioning him.
When he was asked what was in the bag, Sandou [passenger] said the man said, "You'll see."
A passenger interviewed on FOXNews said the man thought he was on the wrong flight and he wanted off.

". . .FBI spokeswoman Kathy Wright said late Saturday night that he had been taken for a medical evaluation and was no longer in police custody. She said she could not identify the suspect, but said he was a resident of New York state.Officials will determine in the coming days whether to charge the passenger based on the evaluation, Wright said. He could face a charge of interference with a flight, which is a felony. She said the incident was not connected to terrorism. . ."link
In addition to being charged with a felony, every single one of these clowns who interfere with flight attendants and flight protocol should be fined triple the total costs of addressing the disturbance as well as have their name added to the no-fly list.
