FEBRUARY 22--The man who repeatedly yelled "Allah is great" as he was removed yesterday from a plane that was forced to make an emergency landing due to his unruly behavior is a 19-year-old Soddy Arabian who was jugged Sunday night after he led Oregon police on a drunken car chase that saw him ram two cop cars and attempt to run over pedestrians, The Smoking Gun has learned.
| Okay, I give. How'd he bust out of jail? The cops and prosecutors certainly wouldn't release a foreigner who tried to run over people, would they? Even in Oregon? |
According to Sherlocks, Yazeed Mohammed Abunayyan was smoking an electronic cigarette on a Continental Airlines flight traveling from Portland to Houston. When a flight attendant directed Abunayyan to stop smoking (or relinquish the device), he refused and began "yelling profanities and swinging his fist at the flight attendant," according to an indictment filed this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Portland.
Abunayyan, who reportedly has been in the U.S. visiting relatives, was charged with a felony count of interfering with flight crew members.
Male passengers on the Boeing 737 helped a flight attendant subdue Abunayyan, who was removed from the plane in plastic handcuffs and turned over to FBI agents. The Continental flight returned to Portland 20 minutes after departure.
Abunayyan, who is scheduled to appear later this afternoon before a federal magistrate, was jugged Sunday evening by cops after a wild car chase in Medford, an Oregon city 275 miles south of Portland.
