RODNEY JAMES, age 47, a resident of Phoenix City, Alabama, pled guilty to a
one-count indictment for interference with a flight crew, in violation of Title
49, United States Code, Section 46504.
According to court records, on November 14, 2018, Rodney
James interfered with a flight crew, travelling from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
to Los Angeles, California, by being disruptive, yelling loudly, refusing to
sit down, aggressively pursuing a flight crew member across the cabin, and
threatening the flight crew, all causing the aircraft to be diverted to New
Orleans.
U.S. Attorney Strasser praised the work of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation in investigating this matter. Assistant United States
Attorney G. Dall Kammer, Supervisor of the General Crimes Unit, is in charge of
the prosecution.
