Robert Brandon Smith is accused of becoming agitated with flight attendants and passengers last Thursday, according to federal charges filed in U.S. District Court.
By Anchorage Daily NewsA man accused of interfering with flight attendants and causing a disruption on an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to Anchorage was arrested last week when the plane landed, according to federal court documents.
Smith appeared intoxicated, was “hitting on” a flight attendant and became agitated after people around him complained he was listening to his phone without earbuds, according to a sworn affidavit filed Monday by an FBI special agent in U.S. District Court in Anchorage. Attendants moved passengers away from Smith’s seat, a uniformed pilot who was a passenger on that flight sat next to him, and the pilots locked down the cabin door, the affidavit said. Some passengers said Smith was drinking from small alcohol bottles for the duration of the flight, it said.
