Passenger Sentenced for Shoving Flight Attendant
From Times Wire Reports
A man who pleaded guilty to shoving a pregnant flight attendant on a United Airlines plane was sentenced in Denver to six months in prison.
Montgomery Joe Carter, 37, of Gerrardstown, W.Va., also was ordered to pay more than $10,000 in restitution to the airline.
Carter pleaded guilty in June to charges of interfering with a flight crew and assault aboard an aircraft.
An FBI affidavit said Carter had begun drinking before the flight because he was afraid of flying.
