An airline passenger accused of trying to open an emergency door midflight Friday while shouting that he had a bomb was charged Monday with interference. Jose Manuel Pelayo Ortega, 36, faces 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted of interfering with a United Airlines flight crew, federal prosecutors said.
The incident on Flight 735 from Chicago to Sacramento began when a man walked into the first-class section of the plane, according to an FBI affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Denver.
The good news is that there was no bomb.
THANKS for that update La Enchiladita.
