SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Salt Lake City man faces federal felony charges after authorities say he threatened a seatmate on a Las Vegas-bound flight.
The Deseret News (
Salt Lake airplane passenger carried knife on board, made threats, police say | Deseret News ) reports 60-year-old David Alan Anderson was charged Tuesday with having a dangerous weapon on an aircraft and retaliation against a federal law enforcement officer by threat of murder.
Court documents allege that before his Delta flight's scheduled departure Sunday, Anderson elbowed the passenger next to him to "claim" an armrest, then placed his foot on the person's leg, prompting the seatmate to tell Anderson to move over.
The complaint says Anderson threatened the passenger saying, "If I have a knife, I would slit your throat."
The complaint says responding officers found a knife in Anderson's bag. After his arrest, the complaint says, he threatened police and FBI agents.
Wait til they get on the 739.
Seriously there needs to be a movement that says middle seat gets both arm rests. It's not fair that the middle seat gets no window and nothing to lean on and the aisle guy gets to put his feet in the aisle and lean that way. Why should the guy at the window get 2 arm rests plus the window and the guy in aisle gets both arm rests and aisle to lean into while the guy in the middle tries to open his peanut bag with his elbows touching?
Not to mention the chic in front of him puts her seat all the way back and then puts her head on her boyfriends shoulder.
Long live the E-Jets, 767s and right side of an MD88... or left side of the MD90. screw the middle seat.
