Passenger kicked off plane for poking seatmate with pen
A passenger was booted from a Southwest Airlines plane after a “disturbance” on board.
A Southwest spokesperson told ABC7 the passenger was removed from Flight 577 for “poking her seatmate with a pen to stop him from snoring.”
The flight to New Hampshire was scheduled to leave Chicago’s Midway Airport at 1:15 p.m. Thursday but was delayed two hours.
Chicago Fire Department was called to evaluate the man, who appeared uninjured. There is no word if charges will be filed.
