A Las Vegas-bound flight from Boston was forced to return on Monday night after a 37-year-old man from Louisville, Kentucky, became “verbally abusive” on board. The JetBlue plane left Logan International Airport at 8:18 p.m. and almost made it to Buffalo, New York, before turning back to the Massachusetts capital. At 10 p.m., JetBlue operations notified troopers that the plane was returning to the gate due to a “non-compliant passenger who had been verbally abusive,” according to state police. The Airbus A321 made a safe landing at 10:30 p.m. The man is being summoned to appear in court for interfering with the flight crew, state police said. His name has not been released. “Safety is JetBlue’s first priority, and we appreciate everyone’s patience while we addressed this situation,” the airline said in a statement. Back in August, another JetBlue passenger at Logan got into trouble with the law after stripping completely naked at a gate. State troopers quickly swarmed him and hauled him away.
