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.

I think a little time in the penalty box is in order here.

I boarded an AA flight and a Hockey Game broke out.

The Hockey PLayer heard the gate agent announce that we are now "Boarding" all passengers, this should have been a two minute penalty as "boarding" is not allowed in Hockey. Since the penalty was never called, the Hockey Player took matters into his own hands. This happens on a regular basis with poor officiating.

A minor or major penalty, at the discretion of the Referee, based upon the degree of violence of the impact with the boards, shall be imposed on any player who checks an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently in the boards.
(NOTE) Any unnecessary contact with a player playing the puck on an obvious "icing" or "off-side" play which results in that player being knocked into the boards is "boarding" and must be penalized as such. In other instances where there is no contact with the boards, it should be treated as "charging".

When a major penalty is imposed under this Rule for a foul resulting in an injury to the face or head of an opponent, a game misconduct shall be imposed.
Any player who incurs a total of two (2) game misconducts for Boarding under Rule 44 (B), in either Regular Season or Playoffs, shall be suspended automatically for the next game of his Team. For each subsequent game misconduct penalty the automatic suspension shall be increased by one game.
When a major penalty is imposed under this Rule, an automatic fine of one hundred dollars ($100) shall be imposed.
