A California man was
sentenced to a $50,000 restitution payment and five years probation this week following his violent behavior on a Tokyo-bound United Airlines flight a year ago.
The alcohol fueled episode was caused as cabin crew refused to served the intoxicated passenger more alcohol after which he attacked and injured a flight attendant, threatening to kill the crew member.
The flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo was immediately diverted to Anchorage, Alaska where passengers and crew had to be accommodated overnight.
Instead of having sushi in Tokyo the passenger now found himself in the role of defendant in an Anchorage, AK federal courtroom this week awaiting sentencing.
