A minor league hockey player from Florida was arrested after allegedly slapping a flight attendant, head butting a passenger and exposing himself on an American Airlines flight from Toronto to Dallas.
Flight attendants -- with an assist from a passenger -- subdued him, cuffed him with plastic restraints and strapped him into a seat.
FBI agents arrested David Cornacchia on Thursday at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on a federal charge of interfering with a flight crew.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Dallas, Cornacchia became angry with a flight attendant after he was refused a third alcoholic drink. Cornacchia slapped the male flight attendant with an open hand, a detail confirmed by American Airlines.
Cornacchia began cursing at other passengers and exposed himself to them, according to the affidavit. Flight attendants and an assisting passenger then secured Cornacchia's hands behind his back with plastic restraints and belted him into a seat. Cornacchia head butted the passenger who was helping restrain him, according to the affidavit.
