Passenger Removed From Boston-To-Washington Flight
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON (AP) — A passenger on a flight departing from Boston was released on his own recognizance after being arrested when other passengers reported that he had placed a suspicious package in the overhead bin.
State police say 35-year-old Ognjen Milatovic (OHN'-yen mee-luh-TOH'-vich) of Hudson refused the crew's request to hang up his cell phone and sit down on a US Airways Inc. flight bound for Washington, D.C., Monday.
Passengers reported hearing strange noises coming from a plastic bag. State police said later that the bag contained a set of keys, a bagel with cream cheese, some other small food items, a hat and a wallet.
Milatovic, a mathematics and statistics professor at the University of North Florida, was arraigned on charges of disorderly conduct and interfering with operation of an aircraft. His lawyer did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
His father, Boris Milatovic, told WHDH-TV the incident was a "misunderstanding."
