Unruly passenger on United plane causes Chicago-to-Germany flight to divert to Cleveland
CLEVELAND - An unruly passenger caused a flight from Chicago to Germany to be diverted to Cleveland, an airport spokesperson said.
The United Airlines 777 jet landed at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport at about 5:30 p.m. Friday.
Jackie Mayo, spokesperson for the airport, said a passenger on Flight 944 headed to Frankfurt was acting “suspicious and unruly,” and would not comply with the flight crew's request to settle down. As a result, the flight was diverted to Cleveland to have the passenger removed.
When the plane landed, Mayo said K9 dogs searched the plane as a safety measure.
The passenger was taken off the plane and was being held for questioning by the FBI. Mayo said she did not know if he had been charged and was not aware of any injuries.
The plane refueled in Cleveland and was cleared for takeoff without the passenger at about 7 p.m.
Mayo wasn’t able to provide more details about the incident. Keep checking newsnet5.com for more information.
