A flight from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles on Thursday was diverted to Oklahoma City after an unruly passenger assaulted a flight attendant, police said.
According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), "An intoxicated passenger became disruptive, causing a security concern" during a Delta Air Lines flight from Washington to LA. The TSA told FOX Business that during the flight, air marshals "intervened to protect the safety and security of the flight crew and passengers."
The man, identified by police as 35-year-old Ariel Pennington, was arrested once the plane landed in Oklahoma City on charges of disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. The Oklahoma County Detention Center told FOX Business Pennington was released on bond less than 24 hours later.
"Delta applauds the quick action and professionalism of the crew and Federal Air Marshals on Delta flight 342 from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, which diverted to Oklahoma City after a customer became unruly," an airline spokesperson told FOX Business.
This incident is part of a "disturbing trend that TSA and its industry and federal partners will not tolerate," a TSA spokesperson said. "These incidents needlessly interrupt travel, delaying flights and other transportation operations across the country."

This crap is getting out of hand. I'm not sure what's driving it. Mask requirements, maybe, but that doesn't justify disrupting a flight.
Perhaps a case of life-long, pent-up anger over his parents naming him Ariel?
Charges of assaulting an Air Marshall is going to leave a mark.
....”Ariel Pennington”.....and his mug shot confirms his Irish heritage.....oh, please.... can’t we just stuff them all into a cargo container and put them in the cargo hold of airliners...wouldn’t that solve a lot of these problems...??
A low impulse person who physically attacks the crew should be rendered (at least) unconscious until they are removed from the plane.
I’d say it’s a concentrated mixture of government in CA and other liberal cities letting gangsters do free without bail and MSM always sticking up for people of color as if it’s some case of racism. It’s emboldening when the consequences of actions like that aren’t punished.
I bet Biden’s personal DOJ will let him walk. Optics, cuz Smollett

They’d just loot the luggage
It must be
Black Irish, if that’s the case.
Ari should have been thrown off the plane just for not trimming his beard. It’s a mess!
"Ariel" is a good Hebrew man's name. It means "lion of God." But a lot of men's names have recently become girls' names too, and some people may only be aware of those.
Not that "mask mandates" have anything to do with it.
At least they didn’t name him “Sue”.
Another one of Satan’s animals running loose!
“Not sure what it was, but it was contentious with the crew.”
*****
Not every kernel in the bag pops at the same time.
Didn’t think about that. Hope the Air Marshal is a black guy or it might be raysis or something…
Oh, for the days when people dressed up and were on their best behavior while flying.
Us crackers will never understand. Black rage is justifiable due to ubiquitous white honky privilege.
He doesn’t look high at all, nope not even a little bit.
