GREAT FALLS, Mont. -- An airline passenger was arrested Sunday after authorities said he became unruly on a flight from Denver, at one point knocking on the cockpit door.
Authorities did not immediately release the man's name, and a federal prosecutor said it remained unclear early Monday whether the man would face any federal charges.
Sabrena Mangum, a spokeswoman for SkyWest, which operates United Express flights to and from Great Falls, said the passenger grew unruly during the flight, threatening and pushing a flight attendant and running through the aisle of the 50-seat jet.

Why do people do this? In today's freaked out, post 9/11 world, anybody with two brain cells should know that you're going to jail if you do something like this.
The gene pool needs a little chlorine.
Sounds more like someone got claustrophobic or panicked by being in a plane, or mentally ill.
This guy should be aware that some pilots carry guns in the cockpit. Trying to beat down the cockpit door can be detrimental toward your health!
no, just mentally retarded
