PAX THREATENED TO KILL WOMAN WITH CHILDREN SITTING IN FRONT OF HIM. POLICE ESCORTED HIM OFF. NO CHARGES FILED.

Narrative

ENRTE TO EWR; THE PURSER ADVISED ME OF PROBLEMATIC PAX IN SEAT XF. I CONTACTED THE STATION IN EWR AND REQUESTED THAT POLICE AND A SUPVR MEET THE FLT AT ARR IN EWR. THE PAX MADE THREATENING STATEMENTS DIRECTED TOWARDS OTHER PAX AND APPEARED INTOXICATED. AFTER ARR IN EWR; THE PAX WAS ESCORTED OFF ACFT BY POLICE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THAT THE MAN THREATENED TO KILL THE WOMAN WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN WHO SAT IN FRONT OF THEM. THE FLT ATTENDANTS COULDN'T RELOCATE ANYONE; AS IT WAS A FULL FLT. HE HADN'T BEEN SERVED LIQUOR IN 3 HRS; BUT HIS EYES WERE REACTING LIKE HE WAS ON A DRUG OF SOME SORT -- 1 PUPIL WAS VERY ENLARGED AND THE OTHER ONE SMALL; AND THEN THE EYES WOULD SWITCH. A COUPLE OF PAX; INCLUDING AN OFF DUTY POLICEMAN; VOLUNTEERED TO KEEP THE MAN UNDER CTL FOR LNDG. THE MOST DISAPPOINTING THING TO THE RPTR WAS THAT THE POLICE SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING; AND THAT THEY NEEDED THE LCL FBI IN EWR TO FILE CHARGES; WHICH IS RARELY DONE. HE FELT THAT THE MAN WAS TOO THREATENING TO BE ON AN AIRPLANE AGAIN. HE THREATENED THE POLICE AND FOUGHT WITH THEM; BUT STILL NO CHARGES WERE PRESSED.
