OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say a St. Louis-boundSouthwest Airlines flight was forced to return to Oakland
International Airport after a male passenger stripped, hit another
passenger and fought with crew members.
Alameda County sheriff's deputies say Flight 947 returned
yesterday morning after 21-year-old Darius Chappille of Oakland
allegedly exposed himself to the female passenger sitting next to
him and punched her in the face.
Lt. Howard Jacobs says flight attendants and other passengers
then subdued Chappille, who disrobed. He was apparently completely
naked when sheriff's deputies arrested him.
Chappille and the woman were taken to the hospital for minor
injuries.
A Southwest Airlines representative says the flight took off
from Oakland again around 10:16 a.m.
