PORTLAND — For the second time this month, an airliner has landed in Portland with a passenger reported as disruptive.
The Oregonian reports that 29-year-old Jared McKay appeared Tuesday in federal court, accused of interfering the night before with a United Airlines flight crew.
An FBI affidavit said McKay wanted four drinks after takeoff from Chicago, got “increasingly aggressive” over Colorado, demanded more drinks, yelled profanities, took over an attendant’s seat, and emerged from the bathroom smelling of cigarette smoke.
