The FBI arrested an airline passenger who claimed he had a bomb, threatened to kill flight attendants and mocked the captain, NBC Los Angeles reports.
Kevin Lee Mosele, 20, of Hawaii, appeared in federal court in Los Angeles Tuesday and posted $10,000 bond. He faces up to 20 years in prison on suspicion of interfering with a flight crew.
The British Airlines flight was headed to Los Angeles from London when a flight attendant complained of an “abusive and disruptive passenger” who was “swearing and screaming.”
Mosele was placed in metal handcuffs but continued to spit and scream, NBC reported.
