No smoking and no throwing peanuts either

Wednesday, 13 July 20113 min read

An airline passengers on a Southwest Airlines flight decided to do something with the peanuts and pretzels he had been given: he allegedly threw them at a flight attendant. But he had a reason.

She complained about his lighting up a smokeless cigarette on a flight from Los Angeles to Utah.

He was arrested and jailed.

The man, Pogos Paul Sefilian of Salt Lake City, faces a federal charge of interference with a flight crew, says the AP. The man apparently became enraged after he was told to put out his cigarette.
