CLEVELAND— The unruly passenger that caused United Airlines flight 944 headed from Chicago to Frankfurt, Germany to make an unscheduled stop in Cleveland was arrested Monday.

According to Stephen D. Anthony, the special agent in charge of the Cleveland Division of the FBI, and Chief Michael McGrath with the Cleveland Police Department, Saleh Ali S. Alramakh, 21, repeatedly disobeyed orders from flight attendants Friday and his behavior eventually escalated to shoving, kicking and spitting.

The trouble allegedly began when Alramakh, of Akron, went into the restroom and used an electronic device during taxi in Chicago.

Flight attendants asked that he immediately turn off the device and return to his seat.

Anthony said at first Alramakh refused, but eventually complied.

Shoot the bastard through the skull and charge his family for the trouble. An aeroplane is the worst possible place to behave like an animal.

When are the lawyers going to catch on to the idea of a class action suit by the other passengers?

Too bad they didn't fasten the duct tape a little tighter.

Would have saved a lot of time and money.

So that's why they were being so cute about airing his name, in the first reports.

Do you know anyone who suffers from Sudden Jihad Syndrome?

SJS is a very real and very serious disease and must be treated.

The FBi released this statement on Monday:

http://www.woio.com/story/15059150/fbi-identifies-unruly-passenger-on-united-flight-as-21-year-old-akron-man

Stephen D. Anthony, Special Agent in Charge of the Cleveland Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation( FBI ), for the Northern District of Ohio, and Chief McGrath, Cleveland Police Department, Cleveland, OH, announced the arrest of Saleh Ali S. Alramakh, aka Saleh Ali S. Alramaleh, age 21, of Riyadh Saudi Arabia, on July 11, 2011. Alramakh was arrested by the FBI, for the Federal Felony charge of Interference with Flight Crew Members and Attendants, in violation of United States Code, Title 49, Section 46504.

On July 8, 2011, Saleh Ali S. Alramakh, was a passenger on board United Airlines flight 944 from Chicago, Illinois to Frankfurt, Germany. Flight crew and passengers stated that during taxi while in Chicago, Alramakh entered the middle lavatory and used an electronic device. Alramakh refused to respond to the flight attendant’s directives requesting that he immediately turn off the electronic device and return to his seat. Alramakh eventually did return to his seat.

Immediately following take off and during the time passengers are required to remain seated with seat belts fastened, Alramakh re-entered the middle lavatory and again used an electronic device. He again refused to comply with the directives of flight attendants’ that he immediately exit the lavatory and return to his seat. After several attempts to get Alramakh to open the lavatory door, flight attendants unlocked and opened the door. Upon opening the lavatory door, Alramakh became verbally abusive with the flight attendants before returning to his seat.
Thereafter, Alramakh exited his seat a third time and approached a flight attendant in a belligerent, confrontational manner. Alramakh was speaking in a loud tone of voice, using profanity, with his face inches from the flight attendant’s face. The flight attendant asked Alramakh to step back multiple times, but instead Alramakh shoved the flight attendant backwards against the aircraft. At that time at least one passenger intervened, grabbing Alramakh and assisted the flight crew in restraining him. Alramakh refused to comply with instructions to cease resisting, attempting to kick and spit upon flight attendants and passengers.

As a result of Alramakh’s conduct, the flight was diverted to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Cleveland, Ohio. Upon entering the aircraft, responding Cleveland Police Department Officers found Alramakh restrained on the floor of the aircraft near the mid-lavatory area, and he was taken into custody and removed from the aircraft.

I wish we could have a “Muslim Free” airline. To get on the plane you first have to eat bacon ....or something.

Saleh Ali S. Alramakh,

Probably just an All-American boy who had too much to drink or smoke. With a name like his, TSA probably never even bothered to check him out or do a frisk.

I remember when riding a Greyhound or Trailways bus was a pleasant experience, and then the animals took over. I remember when riding Amtrak was a pleasant experience, and then the animals took over. Now the animals are taking over the airlines ... what next?
