According to reports, a man was arrested after being unruly on a flight bound for Washington D.C. forcing pilots to make an emergency landing in Kansas City for officers to execute the arrest. In order to subdue the suspect, however, it took the work of the passengers and a flight attendant who hit the man over the head with a coffee pot.
Juan Remberto Rivas, 50, was arrested and charged with assaulting and intimidating a flight attendant and thereby interfering in the performance of the flight attendant’s duties.
Per Fox 8: "Court documents say Rivas walked up to the cockpit area, grabbed a napkin with serving utensils from a counter, then used the plastic knife from the napkin and directed it toward a flight attendant. He then proceeded to grab a small champagne bottle by the neck and attempted to break the bottle on a counter, prosecutors say."
During the struggle to subdue Rivas, the flight attendant grabbed a coffee pot and hit Rivas in the head twice before a passenger punched him while another forced him to the floor.
Rivas remains in police custody and no word yet on his arraignment date.
