A passenger who allegedly took psilocybin -- the hallucinogenic chemical found in certain mushrooms -- before boarding a United Airlines flight in Miami last week was arrested after allegedly assaulting two members of the flight crew
Cherruy Loghan Sevilla is charged with interfering with a flight crew and assaulting two flight attendants, according to court documents.
Sevilla was arrested when the plane landed and taken to the Federal Bureau of Investigations' office at Dulles. During an interview several hours after his arrest, Sevilla told investigators he had taken psilocybin prior to boarding the flight, the affidavit says."Sevilla said that he was not totally surprised that he acted this way after consuming it. Sevilla stated that he was sorry for his actions," the affidavit says.
A father and daughter in the same row as Sevilla said he"wasn't right." They said Sevilla grabbed the daughter's arm, according to the affidavit. Passengers, flight attendants and an onboard law enforcement officer were eventually able to restrain Sevilla, and the officer was able to cuff one of his wrists, while he resisted, states the affidavit.
