A cross-country JetBlue flight bound for California was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Minnesota Sunday after an unruly passenger who refused to wear a mask was observed openly snorting a white substance, wielding a plastic knife, and groping a female passenger, among other things, ABC7 News reported Monday.
According to the report, a male passenger on the flight from JFK Airport in New York to San Francisco International Airport immediately began making inappropriate comments to female passengers and was yelling racial slurs during the boarding process. His disruptive behavior only escalated from there, and was so unbearable that passengers audibly cheered when a member of the flight crew announced that the plane was being diverted to make an unscheduled landing at Minneapolis-St. Paul International.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) â The trial of three former Minneapolis police officers charged with aiding and abetting in the death of George Floyd will be pushed back to March 2022, in part to allow the publicity over Derek Chauvin s conviction to cool off, a judge ruled Thursday.
Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao were to face trial Aug. 23 on charges they aided and abetted both murder and manslaughter. Their co-defendant, Chauvin, was convicted in April of murder and manslaughter. All four officers also face federal charges that they violated Floydâs civil rights during his May 25 arrest.
Judge Peter Cahill said he moved the other officers trial so the federal case can go forward first. No date has been set for the federal case, but Cahill said it carries higher potential penalties. He also said he felt the need to put some distance between the three officersâ trial and Chauvinâs due to the high-profile nature of the case.
