A Delta airlines passenger caused a disturbance on a flight heading from Seattle to Atlanta. The Delta flight crew had to make an unscheduled stop in Tennessee after the 22 year old man reportedly chanted Bible verses while kicking and flailing inside the aircraft.
According to the police report, Paul Marchuk III was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest by airport police. He was being held on $20,000 bond. Passengers on the Delta Airlines flight reported to local television station WSMV that the passenger had to be subdued by other passengers after quoting Bible passages.
The arrest warrant stated, "According to a police arrest warrant, "The suspect would not allow the person sitting next to him to leave her seat to use the restroom. The suspect kept telling her that his blood would be on her and he was not going to let her leave no matter what happened. Several passengers restrained the suspect and the suspect attempted to bite one of the passengers in the leg."
The Boeing 757 with 178 passengers and a six-person Delta Airlines crew continued the flight to Atlanta after the arrest. It arrived 1 1/2 hours late. The passenger who was arrested, Paul Marchuk III, was under evaluation Wednesday in Tennessee and apparently has no attorney.
