A man is in the Lincoln County jail after he was arrested for causing a disturbance on a flight from Las Vegas to New York City.

According to North Platte Police, officer and deputies with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office responded to Lee Bird Field after receiving a report of an unruly passenger on a charter flight.

Airline personnel say the flight was diverted because a passenger on the plane, 23-year-old Maurice Paola, of Las Vegas, was threatening to harm crew members and other passengers and was throwing things on the plane.

Officers boarded the plane and took Paola into custody, but say Paola was not cooperative and resisted officers.

Paola was eventually removed from the plane and transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center where is being held on charges of terroristic threats and resisting arrest.

Police say charges may be filed by other agencies as well.
