BOSTON — Massachusetts State Police troopers were seen boarding a Boston JetBlue flight bound for Las Vegas that had to return to Logan International Airport following a mid-air “disturbance” involving a passenger.
A video shared with Boston 25 News captured the moment troopers responded to the cabin of JetBlue flight 777, which returned to its gate in Boston late Monday night due to a situation involving a “non-compliant passenger who had been verbally abusive,” according to Massachusetts State Police.
While state police didn’t share any additional details on the incident, they did note that a 37-year-old man from Louisville, Kentucky, will be called to court to face a charge of interference with a flight crew.
FlightAware indicates the flight departed Boston around 8 p.m. and made it to the Buffalo area before it reversed course for Logan.
In a statement, a JetBlue spokesperson told Boston 25, “On October 20, JetBlue flight 777 from Boston to Las Vegas returned to Boston after a disturbance on board.”
A Boston 25 viewer said he spotted state police escorting three people in total off the flight.
The flight departed again for Las Vegas after the incident was resolved.
