Fla. man who caused flight diversion due in court

By (Breaking Legal News)

ADVERTISEMENTS

A Florida man accused of causing a trans-Atlantic flight to be diverted to Maine is due in federal court for a detention hearing.

Prosecutors say Derek Stansberry got the attention of the flight crew and passed them a note that said he had a fake passport. Later, he told air marshals that he had dynamite. The April 27 flight from Paris to Atlanta ended up landing at Bangor International Airport.
