Denver’s NBC News affiliate reports:
A Colorado man accused of disrupting an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to Denver by refusing to wear a mask and then standing up and urinating in the cabin faces a federal charge of interfering with a flight crew that carries a maximum term of 20 years in prison and a possible $250,000 fine. The FBI arrested 24-year-old Landon Grier after the flight landed March 9, according to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Denver.
The affidavit by FBI Special Agent Martin Daniell III, who interviewed Grier and crew members, says Grier appeared to be trying to sleep but swatted at an attendant when she asked him repeatedly to put on his mask, as required by the Federal Aviation Administration. A passenger later summoned attendants because Grier was urinating in his seat area, Daniell wrote.
