Breeze Airways flight MX 704 from Norfolk International Airport (ORF) was en route to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) when a reportedly intoxicated passenger began to cause a scene on the aircraft. The man began fighting with other passengers and flight attendants before being restrained. He broke free, was restrained, and once again managed undo his restraints. This led to the flight needing to divert to Grand Junction Regional Airport (GJT) in Colorado.
The Grand Junction Police Department arrived at the airport there around 11:15 AM after receiving a report that an “intoxicated male passenger became agitated, yelling racist slurs at airline staff while waving a skateboard. Airline staff placed the man in restraints twice, but he was able to break free both times.” The man was taken into custody by the police at the direction of the FBI and brought to the Mesa County Detention Facility.
Once the man was removed from the aircraft (and one passenger as well as a flight attendant were treated for minor injuries), the flight continued on to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The charges against the man have not yet been released.
Anthony’s Take: I’ll keep saying it. Over imbibing and flying do not mix. This man will surely learn a lesson after causing this flight to divert.
