A man was arrested by the FBI at New Orleans' Louis Armstrong International Airport after being accused of being verbally and physically abusive during a Southwest Airlines flight.

The 35-year-old man allegedly became abusive towards flight attendants and passengers and physically assaulted a flight attendant after being refused a drink.

The man faces charges of interference with a flight crew, which could mean up to 20 years in jail and a fine of up to USD250,000, reports The Associated Press.
