Shirtless man on Bradley Airport flight attempted to drag flight attendant, police say
A 24-year-old man was arrested in connection with grabbing and trying to drag a flight attendant on a flight from Bradley International Airport flying to Chicago, officials said. Julius Jordan Priester was charged with interference with flight crew members and attendants, according to the office of David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut. The offense of interfering with flight crew members and attendants carries a maximum term of 20 years in prison, Sullivan's office wrote on Wednesday. On May 27, Priester was a passenger on American Airlines Flight 3359, which left Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, for Chicago at about 9:30 p.m. Between thirty minutes to an hour into the flight, Priester stood up, began to take off his shirt and ran to the back of the plane yelling 'help me.' He then grabbed a flight attendant who was seated and shouted, 'you're coming with me.' He forcefully brought the attendant to the ground and attempted to drag them up the aisle, Sullivan's office wrote. Passengers intervened and Priester was returned to his seat, continuing to 'act erratically' and make statements that did not make sense, according to Sullivan's office. The captain of the plane declared an emergency, and the flight was diverted back to Bradley Airport. Following the plane's landing at the airport, Priester was removed by Connecticut State Police and taken by ambulance to a local hospital for evaluation. Priester appeared on Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas O. Farrish in Hartford. He is detained pending a bond hearing that is scheduled for today, Sullivan's office wrote.
