Two individuals were recently arrested by RCMP at the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport for being unruly on their flights.
On January 30, 2020, at approximately 11:45am, Manitoba RCMP officers were advised that a plane from London en route to Los Cabos, was being diverted to the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport due to an unruly passenger.
Police say that the plane landed at 12:03pm and was met by officers at the gate. Officers boarded the plane and placed a 25-year-old male from the United Kingdom under arrest for causing a disturbance. He is also facing additional charges of resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. He remains in custody.
RCMP report that shortly after the first arrest, officers were called back to the plane as another passenger, unconnected to the male, was being unruly. As a result, officers arrested a 34-year-old female, also from the United Kingdom, for causing a disturbance. She also remains in custody.
