A 38-year-old Wyoming man accused of causing a disturbance on an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to Anchorage has been arrested.
FBI spokesman Eric Gonzalez says Kirk Frederick Forest of Cheyenne, Wyo., was arrested for interfering with a flight crew. A court appearance was scheduled Thursday.
Gonzalez says the man made a threat against the plane.
The FBI spokesman says the nature of the threat is still being investigated, but Alaska Airlines spokeswoman Amanda Tobin Bielawski says the man allegedly said the word “bomb.”
The incident happened about 20 minutes before the flight was to land at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
The flight deck was locked, and the man was restrained.
The plane landed at 2:47 p.m. Wednesday, and was taken a remote area of the airport.
All 156 passengers and the flight crew got off the plane and took an airport bus to the terminal.
