Narrative

FLT XX WAS INBOUND TO CHICAGO-ORD WHEN THE CAPT ANNOUNCED THAT DUE TO TSTMS IN THE AREA; WE WOULD BE HOLDING FOR ABOUT 30 MINS. A PAX CAME TO THE BACK GALLEY AREA AND REMARKED 'DO YOU MEAN THAT THESE 'CAT 1' PLTS CAN'T LAND AN AIRPLANE IN A TSTM?' HE REMAINED IN THE BACK FOR A FEW MINS; TRYING TO LISTEN TO OUR CONVERSATION; THEN RETURNED TO HIS SEAT. A FEW MINS LATER THE CAPT ANNOUNCED THAT WE WOULD BE DIVERTING TO MINNEAPOLIS FOR FUEL. THE PAX CAME TO THE BACK AGAIN TO SEE HOW LONG WE WOULD BE DELAYED. WHEN WE TOLD HIM THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT INFO YET; HE BECAME AGITATED; BUT SAID NOTHING AND RETURNED TO HIS SEAT. AFTER WE LANDED; THE CAPT MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THERE WERE OTHER AIRPLANES AHEAD OF US WAITING TO BE FUELED; AND THAT WE COULD BE THERE FOR 2 HRS. THE PAX CAME TO THE BACK TO WHERE FLT ATTENDANT #2 WAS SITTING AT HER JUMP SEAT AND SAID; 'I HAVE TO GET OFF THIS PLANE NOW; I'M GOING TO HAVE A FIT; I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE ME ARRESTED; I'LL JUST GO TO SEE THE JUDGE ON MONDAY.' FLT ATTENDANT #2 CALLED THE PURSER AND TOLD HIM THAT THE PAX WAS COMING FORWARD TO TALK TO HER. THE POLICE BOARDED A FEW MINS LATER; INTERVIEWED THE PAX SEVERAL TIMES; AND THEN DETAINED HIM AT MSP.
