Passenger Identified After Being Duct-Taped for Attacking Crew on American Airlines Flight

Arthur Lundeen, 61, has been identified as the unruly passenger who was duct-taped on an American Airlines flight from Cincinnati to Phoenix. The flight was diverted to Oklahoma City after Lundeen allegedly became disruptive, kicking and attempting to head-butt a flight attendant. According to court documents, he also assaulted a passenger who tried to intervene. Fellow travelers and crew members ultimately restrained him with duct tape and zip ties for the remainder of the flight. Upon landing, Lundeen was arrested and now faces federal charges of assault and interference with a flight crew.
