SALT LAKE CITY — An airline passenger was charged with federal offenses for unruly behavior on board a flight that had to be diverted to Salt Lake City because of his actions — with the allegations including things ranging from trying to open the plane's doors to propositioning a flight attendant for sex. The U.S. Attorney's Office charged 26-year-old Eric Nicholas Gapco, a resident of New Jersey, with interference with a flight crew, and attempted damage to an aircraft.

'Gapco failed to follow instructions to remain in his seat, propositioned a flight attendant for sex, was repeatedly loud, vaped, bothered other passengers, locked himself in the lavatory, and attempted to open the aircraft exterior doors multiple times while the aircraft was in flight,' the U.S. Attorney's Office wrote. Officials say Gapco had to be restrained by the flight crew and other passengers.
