An unruly passenger onboard an American Airlines flight bound for Las Vegas was tied to her seat using duct tape after allegedly assaulting a flight attendant and threatening “multiple” members of the cabin crew. Ketty J. Dilone was arrested on Tuesday for her behavior during the flight, and is now facing charges of assault by striking, beating, or wounding members of the flight crew, the United States Attorney’s Office District of Nevada revealed in a statement. “On the flight from Charlotte to Las Vegas, Dilone was walking down the aisle and yelling,” the statement read. “She allegedly started to verbally threaten multiple flight attendants.” They added: “Due to Dilone’s disruptive and threatening behavior, she had to be restrained in her seat with zip ties and duct tape,” the Attorney’s Office said. “She allegedly kicked a flight attendant, causing the flight attendant to fall.” Duct tape was placed around her legs and torso and she was taken into custody when the flight touched down at Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport, the attorney’s office confirmed.
