A flight from Las Vegas to Honolulu was diverted to Los Angeles on Wednesday after a passenger refused to pay $12 for a blanket and was accused of being unruly, Daily Mail reported.
The police noted that the incident took place just after the Hawaiian Airlines flight took off from Las Vegas and a man, 66, requested a blanket as he was cold.
When told he would have to pay $12 for the blanket, the unidentified man got upset and demanded to speak to a corporate representative from the airline and added “I would like to take someone behind the woodshed for this.”
The pilot deemed that to be threatening behavior and ordered that the plane be diverted to Los
Angeles. The plane landed in Los Angeles. Police and FBI agents met with the passenger, but after interrogation he was released and continued his journey.
