Overview
- The Chicago-bound AA2819 from New York, which diverted Sunday, landed in Detroit after a passenger with more than 150 others aboard shouted he would blow up the plane.
- Airport police moved the jet to an isolated area as teams swept for explosives, found none, and TSA re-screened all passengers and crew.
- Federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Michigan filed a criminal complaint charging Jason Douglas Pazol with conveying false or misleading information.
- Pazol told FBI agents he had racing thoughts linked to medication issues and said he made the threat to get the aircraft on the ground because he felt others were not safe around him.
- After officers confirmed he had no weapon, Pazol was detained and taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation.
